Aram, 
    Re: color correction, try going to www.eddietapp.com and check under the 
PDF section; there is an article called "The 90% Method of Color Correction" 
which you can download.  It discusses using the color sampler tool to sample 
white (with detail) and black (with detail) as neutral base points for 
correcting color in levels in PS.  (This is color correction "by the numbers" 
and can be quite effective in taming color in a scene--although sometimes you 
won't find a nice white and black in a scene and will be forced to use other 
means.) I frequently shoot existing light photos at weddings with Fuji CZ 
under tungsten or mixed light and use this technique to get the color fairly 
neutral.  
    Apologies if this info has already been supplied; I am struggling to 
catch up on the LUG Digests after neglecting them for a few days. 
    And now back to lurking,

[Leica] Some recent photos

A few weeks ago, before school started, we took a trip to Seattle and

visited the Pike Place Market.  Grabed a few shots there.  I could use some

hints to color correcting slides taken under tungsten and mixed lighting.  I

tried on these.  I think they look fairly good.  What do you think?


Always lots of vegetabes to buy

And of course, the fish market is a favorite.

There were still lots of flowers, so we had to get a few.

Lunch at the French bakery

All above taken with Elite 200 and 35/2 lens on  R8.


Is there some set filter settings I should be using in Photoshop to correct

the color?


This last image I'll throw in.  It was a lucky photo.  I happened to have my

camera with me.  I happened to not be carpooling that day.  I didn't happen

to have my tripod or a wider lens, however.  Hand held 35mm lens Velvia at

about 1/15 sec.  Took a few.  This is the best.  The rainbow was a complete

double, horizon to horizon.  Just beautiful.  I have been driving this same

road for 19 years and this was unique.
