Photography Question 

Elizabeth A Cleary
 

Digital overexposure


 
 
Oh dear...

On my latest photo shoot of a family I felt great about the shots until I viewed them on my computer and they were all blue... AAARGH! I didn't notice the setting on my D70 was at "P" and all the pictures were overexposed. I am working with each one via PhotoShop Elements to correct... B&W look pretty good, but I need to present color as well. Anyone else (please make me feel better) experience such a mistake? What did you do? Thanks so much - Liz

  Your pictures weren't blue because you shot in Program Mode. Probably you had your White Balance set incorrectly.

Do a batch operationa nd change all the image at the same time. You can do this with Elements 4.0 and higher, Photoshop CS and higher.

  Good answer John.
Elizabeth,
you may have had your white balance set to Tungsten. If you are shooting raw, you should be able to change your white balance with the raw converter as well.
Good Luck, Carlton
