That's it. I'm getting aggravated. No more tank pictures until someone contacts me about how to use photoshop to balance out the blues.

I quit :)





I WILL, however, post people pics since they don't need to be blue balanced. BUT that's gonna be tomorrow night.
 
Thank you Dana and Rich for opening up your home to all of us. Charissa and I had a great time. The two of you really know how to make someone feel welcome.

Mike and Dan, thanks for the help-  Dan, I think I got the hang of it.  I played for 3 hours this morning on photoshop with the help of Mike's url (I couldn't remember how to spell Ximina or remember the site), and this is what I came up with for starters:






BEFORE:
richs-unphotoshopped-coral.jpg






AFTER:
richs-photoshopped-coral.jpg









AND I AM NOW QUASI-PHOTOMASTER!!! 


This program is awesome!
 
Not bad, can you briefly tell us what you did? I use photoshop, and generally all I do is have the White Balance set for the lighting at the time.
What you did with that pic looks great, and real.
 
i would look into recording the actions you took so that the next time you have a photo you can just hit run and then it will automatically do what you did to that photo. and if you have a bunch of photos you can run a batch and that will do it to all the files in a folder...photoshop is great....if you need more help i can tell you how to record actions and run batch...

Heyf, I posted in the photography forum on RC and they helped me out a lot lot lot! I started out last night clueless, and I'm doing so much fun stuff tonight, I can't sleep. AND I probably only scratched the surface of photoshop!!! Anyways, here's a link to the thread on RC:
