Smile Practice, practice and more practice

To look at using laptop control of the camera I took a pcture of a Dividing Head in my workshop.

Due to the flourecent lights in the workshop and using a slow shutter speed, the resulting images had a colour cast. This is most obvious in the Collet Chuck ( black object in left forground ). At the time I took 2 pictures, a JPG and a RAW in order to post screen captures in the ' Camera Remote Control through a PC ' thread.

With a visit from Nikon Foxy Bob on the cards for a bit of digi darkroom tutorial, I thought this was a good pic to get some practice in.

I took the TIFF created from the origonal NEF file and had a go at correcting it in CS2 ( more to learn ). I am quite chuffed with this but comments welcome.

I have attached a composite, from left to right, of the origonal JPG - my first converted TIFF and the latest result. I tried to title them but the composite suffered badly from compression artifacts.

Origonal JPG is in the Flash thread, and origonal NEF conversion in my gallery. Latest full size here.
