So, this is my first venture into RAW.

I am less than pleased with myself.

    It is a cute shot. iloveyou.gif I like how her small size is emphasized by the position in the shot. She just looks a little green to me.

    Love the shot like the crop but the baby is green I took this picture selectively removed some cyan and added some blue not sure but I think the skin color a little better ?

    I like the crop, too. The baby looks much better with blaser's adjustment, but it's unfortunate that now that vibrant green in the background seems to have been lost. Is there a way to keep that green, as well as the baby's natural skintone?

    Keep shooting RAW and don't get discouraged. It's simply a matter of learning a work flow. You'll find that there's more control over your final image when shooting RAW rather than having the camera settings burning it in Jpeg...and when it comes to correcting color issues, life is much simpler. There are tons of tutorials out there for skin tones as well as layer's/masks.

    I ended up using a combo of photoshop and paint shop pro for this one. But I think she still looks off

    OK, I had a play too. mwink.gif First I rotated to straighten the horizon, then I removed lots (lots!) of yellow, green, and even a touch of cyan. Inverted the layers (selective color and color balance) and masked baby back in. Adorable shot!

    ETA: Also did a slight boost in curves. :)

    Would you believe that I never noticed it was crooked until you did that:laugh: I guess because I was so focused on the color, the tilt didn't even register....
