Do you have any shots taken without the filter just to compare the colours?

Is he right?

No of course not ... why would it be a joke?

I personally hope you will reconsider and keep posting questions. Plenty of people here want to help. But its nice if you can say a little thanks and let people know you have taken the advice and feedback how things are going. That makes poeple feel appreciated and is a good thing. If you are able to put capital letters in at the right places that's also good and can help people reading your posts.

Why not stick with it?

OK - here's how to get going ... open the file in PS and hit ctrl B .. colour balance opens and you've got three sliders

1) cyan - red
2 magenta - green
3) yellow - blue

There are selector buttons along the button if you want to restrict your changes to either shadows, midtones or highlights. But for general colour balance changes stick to midtones, the default.

Make small changes to each slider in turn and note the effect. If one change is better then leave it there and try the next slider. Its just a process of too-and fro-ing until you get what you want. But I'd say 'steady as she goes' ... assuming the colour balannce was reasonably OK from the camera you only want to make small adjustments - anything over 10 units on the sliders is quite strong actually.

That member had openly discussed and told people of the particular difficulties experienced, and so there was an awareness and sympathy from the members ... I shared that awareness too, but I didn't think it was in the persons best interest to have it all discussed in a public place. And we all know how that all ended up ....

The quote from Andrew makes no mention of learning difficulties. As I said above, lets not make this an argument ... it may be based on misunderstandings. But the introduction of learning difficulties into the argument I maintain is fanciful. As I've also said, that matter is entirely for an individual to raise if they want to.

Look, its unfortunate that this has headed this way .. I didn't want the OP to go away. I hope he has got his k5 manual and it is useful. I for one would be most happy to try and help with any other questions, with or without capital letters. But I would remind him that its nice to acknowledge the help, and people appreciate that.

Lets not turn this into another 'Nigel & Marat' thing Because its not! I'm still not a staff member

It doesn't matter really ... if there's an issue for anyone then probably best on a forum to let people know how it actually affects the individual, then people will understand. But the advice given is good, solid stuff, for people with learning difficultes also, helpful for the world in general actually ... even this modern world.

I still have no reason at all to think that learning difficulties are involved here ... as I said, you mentioned it first...

I don't know him, but let me remind you that you were the one who brought 'learning difficulties' into this ... it was not mentioned or even considered before you did so.
