Re: The backward bench
Hi Ali,
Are you using a gray card for white balancing?

Re: The backward bench
No. Should I? I thought for landscape it doesn't matter!

Re: The backward bench
Well, your version looks nice but what was wrong with my version that told you this is not the right WB? I mean you were not at the crime scene! Originally Posted by Colin Southern

Re: The backward bench
Very colourful; I do not understand what is wrong with the bench? The photo is great as it is but white balance is important in every case; I don't think it is an issue here and it looks fine to me.
Maybe if you chose a different white balance it would look less purple, but I thought that was intentional.

Re: The backward bench
Now I see it, Arith. No it was not intentional. But now I see the tree barks and almost everything else has that dark red/purple tint. May be that tipped Colin off? Originally Posted by arith

Do you mean HOW? If so - two ways I use. In ACR just use the WB controls as per normal - in PS "proper" the way I prefer is to use LAB mode and change the starting points on the A and B axis in a curve layer.Also, who do you change WB of Jpeg in PS?

Re: The backward bench
Auto WB works fine most of the time but it can 'throw a wobbly' when the colours are a bit unusual. In this case it possibly mistook pale yellow for white.
Could the bench be facing that way because there is an interesting view in that direction when the leaves have fallen.

I agree. Nothing beats a "definitive reference" though Originally Posted by Geoff F
