How is PP?

[Manfred M]

Thank you very much Manfred.How can I correct the color cast?The bird you posted has got a bluish chest and the tree as well,so I think it is better if I correct the colour cast with my computer.

Check my previous post - I've appended information to it on what I did to your image. I will have a look at the image when I get home and look at it using a screent whose colour rendition I trust.

Thank you Manfred,I will work on this image it will be a good trainig for me.I think because your current computer doesn't support you properly,although you made some corrections you couldn't see the result properly on your screen and that's why you posted a bird with a bluish cest.

Manfred would you also check my original and edited photos when you get home because the colours don't look very artificial to me although I might have made a colour adjustment with my camera (everything is a bit reddish).Is it possible that you saw something really bad because of your misleading screen?

I will do that Binnur, but when I looked at them at home last night, I was certainly under the impression that they had a heavy colour cast, hence my comments / edit today.

Colour adjustments made in camera (unless you shoot with a physical colour filter) will not show up in a RAW file. That is the beauty of RAW; you don't commit to a white balance or gamma value until you open the file in Photoshop. If you have set your white balance in camera; ACR will use that as your inital colour balance, but that is easy to correct in ACR

I have started shooting raw and jpg already Manfred.I thought this bird shot seemed good trainig to me because there were leaves to be cloned out and I also tried some sliders in ACR like sharpening,clarity...I also learnt that If you click 'done' after editing a jpg image in ACR,you never get the original again because there is no xmp files for jpg imagesThat's why I can't open the original bird photo in ACR any more,it gives me the edited oneGood lesson for me!!

Okay - here is a redo on my normal machine. The one I did on the laptop have a definite yellow / green cast. This is closer to what I think the image should loiok like; but the sky is still a touch green for my liking, but adding more magenta impacts the tree and bird negatively.

Thank you Manfred I was confused when I saw your edit and I said to myself 'something wrong with the computer'
I tried to correct the colour cast although I don't have the original jpg file anymore,because I had hit 'done'button after my first edit So I tried to correct the colours by using the edited file.I'm uploading it now.I hope it looks better.

This is the one hopefully without the colour cast.

The colours in this edit look a lot better than your first one.

Thank you very much Manfred.This has been a good lesson and good practise for me.I completely forgot that the photo could have colour cast because I don't make colour adjustments in my camera any more and this is an old photo.Even so, I could have noticed it because of the colour of the tree but I wasn't so careful about it as you have been.Thanks for warning and helping me to correct it As next step,I will try to find a raw image in my files which deserves PP and I will work on that to learn more

The colours in this edit look a lot better than your first one.

I might suggest that futility, by definition, is attempting to color correct a web image to look good on all computers and in all web browsers.

Thank you Boyer..Our main goal was to correct the colour cast caused by the colour adjustment I made in my camera while shooting this jpg image.I was inexperienced and I wasn't a member of CIC at that time.I don't play with the colour adjustments in my machine anymore because it always caused me problems.In the beginning playing with colours seemed fun but after getting more conscious about photography I changed my attitude towards artificial colours.

I agree with you that correcting colours to look good on all computers is futility and I don't think anybody wants to do such a thing
