? about white balance

[AmyM]

My pictures from build a bear, they have a strong yellow tint (it was worse but I fixed it a bit) and very warm. It's not a "perfect" white balance but that's what it looked like when we were there. So is it a big no-no to leave it like that? What do you think? Here's one. I have a lot more that are better but I don't wanna post any photos of someone else's kid that obviously shows their face without her permission. So take a look at this and tell me what you think and what you'd do if it were your pics. Thanks ladies!

I dont see why it wouldnt be ok. Im not a professional by any means though. I kinda have to wonder if the tint in the photo isnt from all the yellow/red that you see in Build-A-Bear though. Yellow is like the main color in every one that Ive been to.

I think it's fine to leave it that way. I wouldn't, but I'm very very anal about my white balance. I even carry a white cloth with me so I can set custom WB wherever I go.

I wouldn't stress about it. I definitely didn't look at the photo and say, "ACK!!! THE YELLOW!!! LIKE ACID ON MY EYES!!!" If you think it looks fine, then use it.

I think it looks fine and looks like indoor incandescent light. Since your eye compensates for the color of light, I tend to try to make the colors more neutral, so I'd go a little cooler, but that's personal preference.

Honestly? What's more an important, the memory that you are scrapping or the pictures looking perfect? If you are at least able to tell whats in the picture, use them IMO. HTH!

I have no clue what I'm talking about, I'm sure, but I think it looks ok! I wouldn't worry about it...but that's just me.

The inside of the Children's Museum does that too...It ticks me off, but I'm always glad to just have the memories.

I think it looks fine. It if were me and I could, I would fix it a little bit more, but if you can't do it without messing up the photo then it's fine.

[AmyM]

Yeah, see I'm all dorky and was worrying about "messing up the memory" if I got it all shined up and spiffy with the usual white balance, blah blah......build a bear is yellow. Let it be yellow. LOL! Thanks so much for your input. I guess it's ok to break the rules sometimes

When I think about build a bear I think about the yellow inside, so it is almost fitting lol

[Jennilyn]

I think it looks fine Amy!

I think it looks fine. Sometimes if I can't get the color to look right in a picture I'll turn it to black & white, or I'll make it vintage looking(ie, black& white and just a hint of color).
But I think your pics look fine.
