The scanner doesn't have to be broken to give a blue cast, not optimal settings could do it. Easy to tell though: was the original picture blue ? There are plenty of online tutorials on photoshop which explain things much better than I could. I can tell you, though, that I used levels and curves (both on the individual color channels) to adjust your picture; the aim was to have the lighthouse white (grey in the shadow). The sand is probably too red this way, but I just did a quick fix. I finally applied unsharp masking, settings about 55%, 1, 3 Bye,Luca
Luca, I'm new to the whole scanner/photoshop thing, so any tips, suggestions, or opinions are very much appriciated. I don't think this is a scanner problem (it's brand new). I don't know what caused the bluish tone. I used a polarizer when I took the photo. In PS I got rid of some dust.
Hi Mark, did you want the picture to have a blue cast or is it a scanner problem? I don't like it this way, altough the composition looks nice to me (I am putting the color problem into the lighting score) I quickly adjusted the colors (assuming the buildings were white) and applied some USM; it looks like this. Bye,Luca
