    correcting wrong colour balance

    I took some pictures at a wedding yesterday using a lumix FX10. I didn't realise white balance was set to flash, so all my outside pics have a marked blue tinge. Can I re-balance this to get them looking right?

    Depends on the photo editing software you have. Photoshop and Photoshop Elements will fix the white balance. Probably or possibly PSP can too. Possibly free programs such as GIMP will also. I can't say about any of those programs except PhotoShop and PhotoShop Elements because those are the only two I use for editing white balance.

    My regular image editor is micrografx, but I do have photoshop CS8. How do I go about adjusting the white balance?

    Here's a tutorial:

    I don't think it's changed much over the years, so that should apply to all versions.
    Nick.

    There are some freeware version of Adobe Photoshop CS2.
    Are these full functional software or just demo-versions with limited functions ?
    It's hard for me to believe that Adobe gives such an expensive software away.
    I know a guy who is using it, but he can't create a photo album automatically.

    And ? GIMP isn't Adobe Photoshop. But nevermind, it's not important, it's not my problem, it's someone else problem.

    You're right there, and one reason we frown on posting in someone else's thread, but I'll explain anyway.

    GIMP is freeware, PhotoShop isn't. And no, GIMP isn't Photoshop in any form. Limited editions or trial versions of PhotoShop only have certain functions, not like the full version of any Photoshop. CS2 is a an old Photoshop version, which by the way, didn't come in limited editions.
