Help with digital photo color correction???

Howdy DU photographers!

I am taking pictures for my website with my new digital camera and realized I don't have the proper software to make a specific kind of color correction. I was wondering of anyone could help me out with 5 or so images??

After 25+ years of celluloid photography, I am new to digital and it drives me a bit crazy sometimes . :crazy:

2. I've got some software and some free time.

What I lack in skill, I make up for with my
enthusiastc "what happens if I do THIS?" attitude! :rofl:

So, what kind of 'color correcting' are you trying to do?

5. This is how I've taught myself Photoshop.

The first version I got was so ancient it came with 3.5" disks, which I couldn't read on my cd laptop. You can learn alot with an enthusiastc "what happens if I do THIS?" attitude! :)

7. I think I'm covered but...

I was having trouble with my white balance while using photo lamps on C stands -- everything was coming out with a touch of yellow. I finally got the CB right, but the first five images look a little jauniced. :)

What software are you using? I think I will eventually have to break down and get some now that I am going digital. :(

I don't do much with it professionally, but
it certainly does everything I could ever want,
and then some!
