Hi

We're just back from a snorkeling trip in Belize. Can anyone point me
to a tutorial on using PhotoShop to correct the color balance in these
pics. Any pointers?

Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks
Al

Take a look at this.

http://kayakdiver.com/divephotos/adjustments.htm

there is a link for a plugin at the bottom.

Levels and curves will do quite a lot to help if the plugin does not. Try it
both ways. Sometimes Paintshop Pro does a better job.

Email me offline if you like.

I'm no expert at this, be we just got back from the BVIs and I've been
correcting the color from snorkeling shots using the 'levels' control --
independently adjusting red/green/blue. The results looks pretty reasonable
to me (though I got the best results from just turning on the flash full
time--which shots require no adjustmen).

Did you use a red filter when you took the shots?
If so its a lot easier to compensate.

If you are going to do it that way, the correct filter is a UR Pro filter.

If you can set the white balance, you can do just as well as using the
filter.
The alternative is to correct with Photoshop. There is an excellent plug-in
available for underwater correction. Levels and curves will also net the
same result.

Just using auto levels works surprisingly well.

And a flash while under water, but it's a bit late for that..
