Green Color-digital photos

**Scuba Mama** · 09-05-2006, 07:27 PM

I took many pictures on my last trip. I noticed one over whelming theme in my pictures. Green hue. I have a sea and sea 3000G digital with a ys25 strobe. I would like to hear suggestion on how to fix the green hue. I was in the Grand Cayman Island. I fixed a lot of pictures in photo-shop but like to spend less time on the computer fixing coloring issues. Any one with a similar problem that was able to correct this. I would love to hear suggests.

I have an uw setup but I have very little info or experience. I did ask a friend that is a great uw photographer. He suggested checking you white balance. He wondered if you are using an automatic setting - he recomends the manual setting.

Thank your friend for the suggestion. I use auto for white balance. My stobe would not fire if I was using manual. Not sure if it is a quirk of my digital set up. Ask him if he has every run into this before and if so, how did he fix it?

Thanks again.

what type of camera are you using? Would like to buy my husband one before our trip.

I use a Sea & Sea G3000 digital camera. Sea & Sea has upgraded from the time I purchased my camera but I am happy with my system. There are a few other manufactures but I would choose digital over film. With digital look at the memory card (size matters), next can you use rechargeable batteries with the system, if so, they last long then regular batteries. The initial cost boost will be quickly off set. Use caution however, rechargeable batteries hate salt water. I also have a strobe, ys90. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Check the menu on the camera as they usually have a few WB settings..

Thanks, I tried changing the WB to manual, but the end results is my flash will not fire. If I leave my camera on auto WB my flash works. I not sure which is a better way to go.

Have you tried using raw instead of jpeg and sort the WB in adobe..
