It is probably the law of averages. In photograph this is the recession to white by mixing all the image and setting the white level. To correct this load into the PhotoShop utility and switch to
levels. Select a point on the image a point that you know is white and with the dropper set to white. You may get the correct result like that. Chris.

Problem - I was an extra photographer at a civic event last week when our new Lord Mayor opened an event with which I was concerned.I took several photographs using ambient light (in a church) and the in built flash on my compact digital camera. Some were taken from about 30 feet from the subjects others as close as 10 feet.The Lord Mayor was wearing a black suit and had quite dark sun tan (for a Caucasian), and black hair.The only way in which I could print an acceptable image was to print as a black and white. However I tried to print in colour I found that the black suit and the black hair had varying degrees of blue.On this occasion I was using the camera in automatic mode for focus, timing and aperture.Something similar happened on another occasion when I was taking some snaps in the house of a friend of mine who comes from Mozambique and has similar skin colour to the 'Ace of Spades' The resulting 'blue rinse' did him no favours.I would be happy to forward a copy of one of the civic images if someone cares to do an autopsy for me.Michael in Norwich
