Hi Guys
Just back from an Alaska Cruise. I was taking some photos inside the ship and chose incandescent light. I got off the ship and took some photos at Sitka and forgot to reset the camera to daylight. Is there any way to correct this problem?
Thank you

If you were shooting raw, most likely you can salvage the shots. If you were shooting .jpg it becomes much more difficult.

Post an example and we'll find out.

You might be able to salvage the jpegs if you have photoshop elements. You have a couple of options open as a camera raw even though it’s a jpeg you will have a white balance eye dropper click on something white or 18% grey. The other tool is a little more complicated is go to levels you’ll have 3 eye droppers black,white and grey. You have better luck with grey eye dropper finding something 18% grey.
As the others did mention it may be prudent to shoot RAW.

You beat me to it anyway I had to search for an off white bad image. Had to dig one off the wife's quilt images this one from a quilt member. I used Affinity Photo to adjust the temp slider to more cooler and exposure to little more. Once I got it I just cropped the quilt as I knew it was white. I have been using Affinity Photo for the replacement to CS5.

Using the White Balance tool in Camera Raw returned a much better image but it still didn't look quite right to me. Too blue, too magneta, too... Something. So then I tried using a couple Curves Adjustment layers instead and was much happier with the result. Might be a little too contrast-y...
