Overly Dark Pics With Yellow Hue

[NuffRespeck]

Greetings! I am seeking some advice on how to remove the yellowish hue on the attached photo whilst also brightening the pic. This photo was taken from a wedding album where almost 75% of the pics have similar defects. The walls of the church is white. Any input would be most appreciated.

NuffRespec, there are about a dozen ways to correct the yellow cast. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you can open the image in Camera RAW and use the White Balance tool to touch a spot that should be neutral (White or Gray). This will fix most if not all images in about 2 seconds.

You can also use the Temperature sliders in Camera RAW to adjust the white balance.

Regards, Murray

Photoshop: Image>adjust>Hue/sat
select yellows>move lighten to right.
Levels to brighten.

One thing to note: Your background (wall) is lit by tungsten lighting, which is warm, but your foreground (pews) is lit by flash, which is cool. When you correct for one you lose the other. The solutions might be more trouble than they are worth, so a compromise situation where the foreground is a little cool while the background is a little warm might be your best bet. Warm, especially for a church wedding, is somewhat romantic anyway.

Thanks all for your input. In reference to the image size, I must have misinterpreted the instructions. PSCS (Image Size) showed the Pixel Dimensions as 99.8k at a resolution of 72. I will re-read the attachment procedures for future postings. Thanks again!!
