all looks underexposed and most are too warm.

em.... anyway to correct them when i shoot the pictures ?
or it can be edit at photoshop ?

[hwchoy]

I hope you shot in RAW, then it is relatively easy to adjust the white balance. as for exposures and so on, you can edit in photoshop, although just for the technical training you should go out and reshoot until you get the exposure "right".

Yes, so i just adjust the White balance settings during editting ?
I need more training ... hands keep shaking, if not wind keep blowing...
haha

Do you shoot raw?

Yup, i shot in raw

[hwchoy]

you set the final parameters during RAW conversion. this can be the Photoshop RAW plug-in or you can use Canon DPP (which I personally prefer). If you use Canon DPP, after setting the sharpness, saturation, WB, etc you then do control-P to send it to Photoshop automagically.

[tcy81]

ya i using canon's DPP for editing. Just not too sure about editing the sharpness, saturation & WB. Do you have any website to recommend to read up on this topic ?

[hwchoy]

first of all make sure your monitor is calibrated else you will not be looking at the actual colour rendition coded in the picture. first it is calibrated you should just try adjusting WB until it looks right, try the "click white balance" feature by clicking on neutral tone objects.

thanks.
any recommendation for display calibrator ?
Spyder2express good enough ?
