Georgia's art is truly beautiful-thank you for sharing the information on her work - it's very interesting. I use PS elements 10 and create a layer, go up to 'enhance' click on 'remove color cast', and then move your mouse and click in a white, gray or black area of the photo and it adjusts the hue and takes the blue (or yellowish) tint out. Try that and see if it works. :-) Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-68407140896159461282013-11-02T08:13:34.586-04:002013-11-02T08:13:34.586-04:00I've been doing enameled copper cow skulls the...I've been doing enameled copper cow skulls the last month or so...

Love the depth of field on your new camera :) <br />For the perfect white you need to either (1) white balance your camera (check the manual on how to do it), and you'll need to do it every time you take a picture (every session), as the white balance will change with light and background; or (2) edit the picture afterwards. They both work (easier to go with (2) sometimes :) )Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637712312686274989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-56162720300869239282013-11-01T14:33:09.011-04:002013-11-01T14:33:09.011-04:00Wonderful work, and thanks for the hints on a whit...Wonderful work, and thanks for the hints on a white background...I'll have to try that.
