Blue pictures

[Shock130]

Well, Im sure this has been asked before, but quick search, I came up empty.

Anyways. I just have some point and shoot cameras. All of them my pictures have a blue hue. Is there something I should do to help fight this? Obviously to the eye, its not as blue as in pictures, but the pictures are.

Here is an example, crappy pic, but you get the picture.

Thanks.

^mwuhaha nice one^
What camera do you use? Unfortunately this may not be an easy/convenient fix short of buying a new camera. If you can shoot RAW you are good to go, if you cannot (which is probably the case), you may take advantage of custom white balance tweaks. Lets see what you are packing first though.

Thanks for the help, I have a PowerShot SD940 IS. I have 2 other p&s in the house, and they are all the same way. An older sony dsc-h5 and olympus stylus 820

If your powershot is anything like my sd750. You can change the mode to u/w or aquarium or do a manual white balance.

Of course it is always better to deal with this in RAW, in the camera. However, if that is not possible you can often have some effect with adjustment layers in PS using other colors to balance or cancel the color of the cast. It is much like we used to do when we used colored filters printing the "old school" way with an enlarger to eliminate color casts. Here was just a quick attempt.
