[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 282413, member: 12496"] Regarding White Balance, sounds like you just need a bit of editing experience. Today is a good day to start. :) There must be some white in the pictures, maybe the clothing of some players, or the while numbering on their uniform, or maybe some white on the volley ball itself, or maybe the white webbing on the net, or a white painted steel pole holding up the net. There is often some white somewhere in the picture. If the white balance is off, there will be a color cast on that white (a white which ought to actually be white, but isn't). You probably have a White Balance tool with which you simply click on the white, which says "Computer, I know this should be white, make it be white". It will remove the color tint there, so that white appears white, and the entire image is corrected. This is basic stuff. It should be rather white, not off white, but instead something that was desired to look white. There is some risk this found white is not precisely white, and it could come out slightly off, but that slightly off will likely be greatly better than grossly off like now. Odds are, it will be pretty good. Certainly worth a try. Try different white things, and different areas of white things. However, if using JPG, do NOT click repeatedly on different things. Cancel out each time, back to the original, between each try. If Raw, you can click repeatedly on different things.
