The first 5 have a serious green color cast to them, kinda like one used to get with daylight film shot under florescent lighting, but not that strong.
Your white balance seems all over the place. The one advantage you have in the studio should be total control in your white balance. I assume you used auto WB in these. Invest in a grey card for your studio shots. Take your first shot with the model holding the card and set you WB manually.
I do like some of your poses. If these were shot in raw, you should be able to salvage them.

Yes they were shot in raw on flash WB, i will have another go
I agree with everyoen on the white balance. You have some really good poses, just the colering is weird. #3 and #4 the lighting looks a little harsh. I really like the crispness in each phot, good job!
The oens you corrected for white balance with auto levels ect.... They still have a blueish tinge to them. They look cold.

Thank's Owen
But do you know how to reduce it in Elements 3
Elements should have a channel mixer, at least, right?
Gary, if you're gonna get serious and take on more work like this, I really think its time to put a full version of Photoshop in the budget. It will make your life easier and keep your photos from being all over the place in color (like they are in this thread so far - some good ones, but man, they span the gammut from red to green to blue!)
That being said, indeed, for studio you need to give up your reliance on auto anything. You aren't chasing footballers or motocrossers. Take your time and do a custom white balance so that all your shots come out the same. Even if its not dead-on right, at least they will all be the same so you can batch adjust later.

I think i have cracked it now, i will post some more later, i don't shoot for money just for fun so far so there is no chance of me paying £499 for CS

Ah, I figured that venturing into the studio meant you were "kickin it up a notch". Carry on.
Bravo - those 4 actually look like they were shot in the same place!
What did you end up using in Elements - it could be useful for other people down the road. As you notice, most of us give out Pshop advice, not all of which you could apply.

Let's learn from your ordeal here...
The bad ones where coverted in Rawshooter 2006 downloaded it last week so i need more practise
Last ones were converted from raw to jpg in Elements 3 using the flash WB even though i had my 10D set on Flash WB for some reason my 1D with the infra red fitted would not set off the flashes maybe a CF i have set coz it works the 580ex then all i did was in levels used the grey dropper on the background because it did not look like i remembered and it changed it to how it looked in the studio so i knew i was close, then i just reduced the red very slightly in colour variations and a bit of USM
The last set of your re-PPed photos are georgeous! Very nicely done. And, thanks to your trials, I learned some things for when I get my studio set up (first week in Nov!!!).

If i dont get there soom i will slit my wrists:D
Don't do anything drastic.
I think you are there with the white balance on this last shot. Now apply it to the others and you should be in good shape.
