I was asked to photograph these little guys today and wanted to share them here as they are so adorable and because I hope to get feedback on the levels adjustment
 and 
One thing that really has me puzzled is the difference of color in the two. One I adjusted levels manually (the warm toned one) and on the other I used auto levels and it came out much more white. Which one is better? Also, what am I doing wrong if the white one is the better one? Thanks |

| Thanks Rikki, They belong to a guy I met lately who is a Master Falconer and he asked me to photograph these guys... I have tons of shots of them and the other raptors he owns and I am trying to learn how to post process them correctly. Is it something I should be doing in camera or in Pshop? Is one better technically than the other? Thanks for any feedback |

First thing is to double check your monitor. It's a good idea to recalibrate that at least once a month.
That said, I prefer the auto leveled. The white point in the first one is off. I'm pretty sure the baby birdies are more white than orangish. :)
I usually look to set my white point first, (similar to auto levels) and then go for any additional edits. But that's just me.
Cute babies! |

What a great oppertunity!
I can't find it in the manuel, but i think auto levels does a color balence function at the smae time.
So it trues up your whites (wether you wnat to or not) |

| Thanks bluezamia - that might be why when I do the levels they don't go as white - I only adjust the overall one as I don't know how to adjust the rest of them.. but I am learning from reading here... and blemt, thank you - I will check my monitor for sure but I don't know what you mean when you refer to the white point.. is that an in-camera adjustment or Pshop.. I have #7 pshop btw |
