JOSEPH X Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I've been scuba diving recently and took some u/water photos. Red light doesn't get very deep, so unless you white balance the cam it will be lost on your pics - something I forgot to do here: I was told it's possible to do colour correction in photoshop and restore the red, but I dont have it. I'd appreciated any help. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis_speed6 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Did you wanted the whole pic to have a red shade? http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6910/89557961.png http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4773/42328972.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5430/19559120.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDude Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 No he wants the reds of the photo back, Which can't be done unless you want us to colour in where you want red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis_speed6 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yea, we need to remake the actual color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 If you had been shooting RAW, we could change the WB in photoshop before starting to edit the photo. It is now extremely hard to bring back the colors and you need to do complex stuff with the channels...

JOSEPH X Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I found this on a photography forum if it helps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- personally I think it's better to get the picture right the first time than to try post processing underwater pix. I normally try to get closer and use the flash to get rid of the colour cast or at least to get an even exposure. But if you have to use photoshop, this is how I do it.... I use the channel mixer and reduce the green and blue while upping the percentage of red (I just adjust by gut feel). You can also use the curves if you know how much red to add and blue/green to reduce using the dropper tool (still learning this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDude Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If there is no Red in the picture to start off with, then it cant be done. Photoshop isn't that powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If there is no Red in the picture to start off with, then it cant be done. Photoshop isn't that powerful. The channels can recognize the smallest bits of RBG in pictures. It can be done, it just takes some time and patience.
