Selective color shadows and balance just the shadows. Save that as an action repeat. What happens when you use levels and the black point eye dropper?

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
