UMass won the first game tied the second.

You may notice some difference in the colors. The first 3 photos I did my typical white balance off the jerseys. Makes the jerseys nice and white and personnally I like the slightly yellow ice because I feel like it offsets the jerseys better and they stand out. The last 4 photos instead of white balancing I tried using the color grid on my 20d, I dont remeber what setting I used but I clearly went to magenta on it, which I can see now on my screen. Someday I will get my color issues and hockey straightened out.

I am open for comments or questions?

    Karen,
    Hey, good to see some posts from you thumb.gif It is hockey. hockey, hockey season wings.gif

    Personally, the yellow ice caught my attention right away. Maybe because of a haunting childhood memory....Laughing.gif


    Seriously, I would suggest fixing it and it can be done in seconds. Just use an Adj Layer>Selective Color>Whites and take the yellow down about -40 or so. Erase what might have gotten too white, using the Layer mask. And boom, yer good ta go :D

    Ok I think I have figured out one of my problems. I looked at this thread at work, and I could definatly see the yellow.
    But now that I am at home and on my laptop I am having a hard time seeing the difference.
    So my first question is how do I go about fixing the colors on my monitor, so they more accuratly reflect the colors of the photo?

    it may be just your screen in general. I've got a color calibrating tool we could try out on your machine, but I say "in general" because at work, I see a much bigger difference on my big screen than I do on my itsy bitsy screen at home - even though I have calibrated both to the same "settings".

    Yeah I am sort of glad that I at least figured where the yellow is coming from, i really can barely see the difference from the two now, and the one on the left certaintly doesnt look yellow, where at work, it defaintly did.

    but I heart my 12 in screen :)
