Hi. How do you correct this issue, without processing? I want to fix this in-camera/at time of shot.
I'm photographing students wearing white (martial arts uniforms), whether outdoors using direct flash for fill or indoors with a bounce flash, the belt colors, background, mats, etc. are all as they should (once correct white balance is applied), but the uniforms are reflecting back a slight blue tint. It seems as though because of the white, the flash color is being reflected back more than anything else around.
Thanks. |

Have you gelled your flash? The camera may be reading the white balance of the ambient lights, which are possibly a warmer color than the flash. MAybe just 1/4 CTO would do it. |

I'm shooting RAW so I can adjust white balance. In fact, when shooting indoors white balance is a very tough problem. The studio uses fluorescent lights. The problem also happens outdoors (bright sun or clouds, doesn't matter).
Besides, if I shot with a gel, would that not offset the rest of the colors? |

so the whites are appearing blue?
1. gel the flash with a very slight CTO?
3. if you are shooting jpeg an you pick a warmer tone or somehow set the blue back a bit? |

if you are shooting raw you may as well do it in post. gel the flash to match your light, either for florescent or slight CTO for sunlight |

What is the CTO going to do to the rest of the colors? Or, should I just use the lightest one just to help offset the blue?
I suppose experimentation is the only way....
ETA: Hmm...simulation of it in photoshop cleared it right up....but still depends on the white balance set.
