This is a white-balance corrected shot b/c we run 12k bulbs

What is your workflow for these shots? I'm assuming you shot in RAW, which program do you use to convert it? Photoshop?

I'm still learning I usually shoot in RAW but today I was lazy and shot in Large format JPG and then put them into Photoshop.

What did you do to them in photoshop? I can't get jpegs even close to that.

What RAW mode? Can my camera do that? DSC-F707.

Dig Cams have a built in compression to make a picture condensed. Raw is it will take it as best as the camera can with no reguards for file size...

Some of them I use "auto levels" and others I need to darken a little bit and crop the pictures. Thats the most I ever do, over half of the ones above I did nothing but crop.

I spent a long time today setting the white balance for the tank using the white leather that is in the tank and the custom WB feature, once I got that sorted out the pictures came out great.

 

[Blazer88]

Did you set the white balance using the custom WB (set with picture) or WB shift? You seem to have it spot on...wanna share you settings if you used the WB shift?
