Hum. Hadn't really thought of that. It's true, now that I think about
it, that when I correct the white balance in a some shots, I go back
to the way it was with a color cast. Sometimes I tone down the color
cast a bit, and now and again I'll select an area of the image to
remove it while leaving it elsewhere. As an aside, I've discovered
that the Auto Color feature in CS4 seems to do a remarkably good job
with some--SOME--of my images. I'm not much of an auto-anything kind
of guy, but I've been pleasantly surprised a time or two. Not to
mention feeling a little guilty that I would use an Auto feature. <g>
