So this butterfly came by today, and I took its picture. But it came out all blue. Now, some say that's because I left the camera White Balance on 'Tungsten', from indoors the night before. I guess. But it's actually Edison's fault, for trying, over and over and over, 985 tries, before he hit on tungsten for the filament of that first lightbulb. And to this day, all those nice warm lights in your home photograph just fine if you use the Tungsten white balance setting.
But in daylight, Tungsten WB makes everything blue. Great for simulating a moonlit night, as per those old Hollywood color movies where the film stock had a low, low ASA (ISO) 25 rating... and there was no way you'd get that shot of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly driving at night along a beach, waves breaking in the background. But blue is not so good for butterflies. Luckily for me, I wasn't the first photographer to make this mistake. Goes way back to film days, when the fix was to use an orange Kodak 22 filter if you had tungsten-light-balanced film -- indoor film -- in the camera... and you wanted to take a picture outdoors in daylight.
Found a small program, FilterSim by Mediachance, that immediately let me use a simulated orange filter on the butterfly picture (middle image, below). Not so bad. Then, in Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, I added some color to get it to look like what I saw this morning. FilterSim:
