Thanks Moose for sending me some less-blue pictures privately. I am
replying back on the list because other people may benefit from the
answers to the following. Did you just use Adjustment Replace Color
type of command? I also read that possible slides look bluer when it
is underexposed a bit. The slides themselves look good on a light box
and scanned in, but I wonder if the exposure is slightly under.
This was nothing fancy, just a very quick look at what they would look
like with less blue. Image>Adjust>/Color Balance and pull the
Blue-Yellow slider away from Blue.
BTW, I like what you did w/ IMG017,
I think on IMG017, I probably went to about -75-80 B-Y and moved the
Cyan-Red a tiny bit toward red.
but I like the original IMG036 better.
I may have gotten carried away with IMG036. I think I just pulled the
B-Y slider left to -100. My experience of strongly weathered wood,
including in the high Sierra, is that it is a pretty neutral gray. Now
that I look at '36' as I modified it again, I notice a slight green tint
to the gray of the wood. Since I am very slightly red-green color blind,
it's probably more than slightly green. Pulling green down about -20
should help that.
As for which one is more true. I just don't know. I do know that the
sky were really blue. Interestingly enough, I am reading one of Galen
Rowell's book (basically a collection of his essays from Outdoor
Photography) and one of the more controversial essays was his theory
that colors don't exist per se, but is a property of the perception!
There is neurological evidence to this effect.
