At a recent outdoor wedding, pink fabric was all that stood between the subjects and the sky. I've tried removing magenta and decreasing red saturation, but can't find anything that looks reasonable. Any ideas?

Could I have done anything different on the day? I did experiment with different levels of fill-flash but it seemed to make little difference.

Is B&W my only hope?

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Hi

I've taken most of the cast out by using image adjustments >match color >neutralize. Hope this looks better for you.

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency.
I think you should write, 'An ambulance'... !

This is not a colorcaste issue; it's a lighting issue. That said, I gave it a go, but others, after perusing, did a better job.

Silly question, I know, but you do shoot in raw? Adjusting white balance (for example in Adobe Camera Raw using colour temperature and tint controls) would be a good place to start.

Wow, thanks for all the responses

I should have added a little more info to the original post:

- The image was shot in RAW and is straight out of camera.

- I do 95% of my editing in Lightroom (using Photoshop and NIK programs when necessary) and am looking for a LR solution I can apply to multiple images.

- I'm interested in learning and thus really appreciate answer along the lines of 'I did x, y & z" to the image.

Cheers, Andrew

Thanks Dareshooter. Yes, that's a big help. I'm hoping there's a way to apply that procedure to a batch of images?

Thanks lylejk. I hope I don't have to individually paint a stack of images...

I'm interested as to why you say it's a lighting issue.
