So I've got one picture looking about the way I want it to look, but I need some help with the other two. (I would like them to look similar in style.)

Here's the one I like:

I shot this in raw and changed the white balance which is what made the lines between the color bands fade.

Here are the other two:

These versions do not have any post processing. They were shot in jpg (oops! don't know how I did that) so I don't know how to create the same effect, especially on the color bands.

Thanks for any suggestions and input. My goal here is to make a triptych of the three images. Please feel free to grab these and do with them what you will!

Not sure I understand, but if you just want a red and green and blue copy just duplicate your red one twice (the raw) and change the background color accordingly.

This is 3 different photos of the same thing, and the background is a color changing wall. The figures themselves are mirrors and the reflection is different in each one. I would prefer to use the 3 different images rather than just changing the color of the background in post. Thanks for the idea, though, routerguy!

Hrm, not sure exactly what you mean but I took a guess and assumed you meant you wanted to change the background on the images to match the first one. I had a play with one. There are artifacts in the image but that's just because it's a low-res file.

All I did was select the background and used the gradient tool to paint in a new color scheme.

Okay, well, let me try to explain what I want a little bit better. I took the pictures of the three different colors on purpose. I would like to have one of each color. I like each individual picture, but I can't process the two jpg's the same way that I did the red one.

With the red, I changed the exposure in raw. I believe I changed it to flourescent. When I did that, the dark lines that you see between the color panels on the blue and green blurred into the bright colors. I want to create that same effect on the other two images, but since they are jpgs, I don't know how to recreate what changing the exposure did.

I hope this makes more sense, and I appreciate people trying to understand what I'm trying to accomplish!

For what it's worth, "fluorescent" white balance basically adds magenta to the mix to counterbalance the strong greenish cast of most fluorescent lights...
