Need a bit of picture help

[Wutputt]

I just found a few lost pics in my edit&upload queue, which weren't yet uploaded. But I've a little problem with the following pics. Due to some bad lighting, the colour of the car in the pics is fucked up from some angles. So I had to edit the colour balance. But I'm colour blind (*), so that makes it a bit harder for me. If edit a pic, it can look fine for me, but in reality it looks weird.

So I made two methods for editing the pics. If you can tell me which one looks most realistic (the actual colour of this CGT is silver grey), I know which one I've to choose to edit the other pics.


- - - - Method 1 - - - - - - - Method 2 - - - -






(*): no, that doesn’t mean I can’t see colours, it just means some colours just look the same for me and I don’t see all the colours as they look in real life.

Only the last pic looks really strange to me - it looks green to me.

Ok, then I'll opt for editing method 1. On the other hand, if I use method 2, I can claim I spotted an extremely rare light green CGT

Yep method one is the way to go. In the first pic you don't notice a great difference, but on the second one, with method 2 one is really too greenish

hehe, i tried to play a nasty joke on a color-blind friend of mine years ago...

i poured some blue food coloring into his sprite, and told him it was coke :shock: but he saw me stiring the sprite
back on topic, meathod 1 is the best here; but sometimes it gets screwy, or way better if you change the white balence of the original photo as you take it. if you try the suggested WB contitions in the camera (sunlight, couds, florecent, incondesant, etc. ) the colors usually look pretty good to begin with.

Thanks for the suggestions!
