all eyes on the groom

all eyes on the groom · 07:42 PM

My wife took this shot from the front row of a good friend's wedding.

I like the way the five faces are all looking to the groom... pressure's on!

the photo is probably a little too yellow. anyone have any good tips for color balancing in photoshop? i tried taking out some yellow but that made the blues a little too blue.

I saved this photo and tried opening it in PS (Elements 5.0) - try doing a "remove color cast" and experiment with picking the black of the groom's tux.

You've got tungsten on the left fighting with the daylight from the right - so nothing will fix the photo completely, without messing the other side up somewhat. But I got a couple decent color renditions clicking on a few spots above the groom's back with "remove color cast".

hope that helps,
Dan

Thanks for the tip. I'd never used remove color cast before. Photoshop help stepped me through it.

I see your point about the opposing light sources though... It's good enough now.

Thanks again.

Remove color cast is awesome!

I just de-yellowed this one:
