I took it into Photoshop.. walked the "grey dropper" in Curves in Photoshop and voila..i and cropped it a little and voila.. actually a very good capture , the colour cast hides both the sharpness and detail.  Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simplest way to "correct" that in Photoshop is to find either perfect "white spot" or neutral "gray tone" in the image..using the tool "curves" or "levels" you will find 3 "eye droppers"..these are tools to help you correct the exaggerations the camera may make. Like I said the Canon EOS has a habit of giving images a purple like tone, which is not whats actually there, the Leica DMR has a tendency to exaggerate the reds and push towards a yellow hue. When you "see " that happening, the correction not only gives you better natural colours, but also restores lost detail and image sharpness too!!. May I suggest you take a very basic course in Photoshop online..like lynda.com..its $25.00 a month.. you learn at your own pace, unlimited time if you don't like that method, you can purchase their learning DVD , if you don't like that either, you can learn live online directly from the teachers. Consider it an investment it getting better images, less frustration and more out of your equipment.  Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
