 Press presentation of female models for an automobile show. Venue was saturated with bright yellow and green lights. My first DSLR was barely one month old, and I was shooting in Jpeg, knew nothing about Raw. Quite difficult to correct the white balance now, no matter how much PP I do.

As a general comment- while it allows you to "change WB" it is not changing it in the truest sense. It is shifting things, and you won't experience the same latitude that you have with a RAW. Same goes for exposure adjustment... you CAN, but it isn't as good. Still good to know, though.
Regarding the photo, I like the calm yet serious expression. She obviously knew she was being photographed, yet it's a very natural look.

Whoa! I did a google on how to correct a JPEG white balance and THAT was definitely not listed. I guess it's a trade secret that no one wants to discuss anywhere, hmmm...

Thanks a lot for sharing that info, Jen. I'm glad to learn something new today.

I agree with dahlin. This pic has its own charms regardless of white balance.

I kind of like the white balance "issue" as an effect. I think it adds to the mood of the shot a bit.
