carrolswan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I take photos of jewelry and silvertone often comes out as goldtone. Anyone know why that happens? And how can I fix the photos I have? I tried adjusting color but it also changes the color of the stones. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pophiri Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sounds like you have got a yellow color cast. It's a lot easier to remove color casts in a program like photoshop, but there are some plug ins that help achieve similar results in pdn. Unless you are familiar with curves, the easiest one to use is Boltbaits color balance plug in. Use the yellow-blue slider to remove the yellow look. It is simple to do, but the disadvantage of this method is it applies equally to shadows, mid tones and highlights. Give it a try and see if it works. Boltbaits plugins are available in pack form in the plugin section of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You may try giving evanolds' Conditional Hue / Saturation effect a try. It's in his plugin pack here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=27897 It allows you to limit the effect of the Hue / Saturation adjustment to only specific color regions. It really depends upon the starting color of the off-tone metal, but it may help you keep the adjustment off the stones.

Ash Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Worst case, your photo is of a yellow colored stone and you got gold tone. Select the metal parts only... or or :SelectAll: or :LassoTool: Then try CDM's advice. Conditional Hue / Saturation or Hue / Saturation adjustment. The key is to lower the saturation. And if you want to change silver to gold, use Benji's idea.

Benji2 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 In my pictures, the gold is before, the silver is after the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
