I got some bettwe results. Still having color issues. I spent more time editing this week











The stripe on the Black unis is supposed to be gold, the numbers are white outlined with gold. If the color temp is off, the gold is impossible for me to get right.

Any ideas?

You got some more good action here. Nice parts of and whole faces

These look way too cool to me. To the point where the white highlights on the uniforms look to have a purple/magenta cast to them Skin tones are off because of this also.

I hope you don't mind the visual examples

Thanks!
What color temp did you use, or did you use a filter? That brought the gold our nicely too.

I used one of Shay's Purple Fringe removers first. Then I reduced the red and magenta saturation even further. I used a levels layer (white point on the jersey). I had to erase some of the brighter areas to not lose detail. I then went in and did a skintone adjustment using CMYK mode.
http://www.smugmug.com/help/skin-tone I did this using a layer mask so I could erase some of the areas that got too warm. I probably could have spent more time on the pants (a bit too warm?). I also applied some low radius sharpening (.2, 380, 0)

About 3 minutes per image is all I put in.

It looks like you are still shooting using aRGB color space. Stop that....

Seriously, you will reduce the amount of post processing needed and get much better "right-out-of-the-camera" results using sRGB color space.
