Photography Question

Is there a quick fix for tungsten?


I took my pictures today and forgot to switch white balance to tungsten lighting after about 10 pics or so. Is there a quick fix for this in adobe 4.0? I have been playing but didnt know if there was a quick way to do this? Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!

  I would assume that if you apply a Photo Filter (either 81 or 85) that it would pretty much correct the problem. Then if you were to do it again it should warm it up even more.

  If you shot in Raw, go to the bridge and select tungsten and it should be fine.

  with digital, taking the picture is only half the battle. just as a traditional photographer needs to learn the darkroom, it's vital for digital shooters to learn PP.

  If I'm just working on some snapshots that I took while under tungsten lighting, I'll often just click "auto color" or "auto levels" and that will usually fix the tungsten problems. These are pretty simple and I thinkt they're in photoshop elements as well as the full version. That's probably the quickest fix that I know of but not always the best.
