Since it seems to be digital photography week...

Does anyone have any tips, or is there an idiots guide anywhere to
tweaking underwater pics in photoshop (or similar)to correct colour
balance (specifically the very blue casts I got a year or two back in
the red sea when using a digital camera at anything more than 10 or so
meters down without an external strobe).

I've never really spent much time in photoshop, but when I have tried
randomly moving red and blue and green sliders about, it doesn't
really seem to achieve what I am looking for.

I did try a plug in filter (Digital ROC from memory?) which seemed to
do the right sort of thing, but I suspect that with a little bit more
knowledge, it would b possible to produce better results manually.

I was about the reply then too.....

you need to tweak the colour balance, most notably adjust the colour
temperature, you need to make it warmer to remove the blue colour
cast.

Cough, splutter... just for a brief moment, I misread that...

Anyway -  No.

In a similar vein though, does anyone have any pointers on how to
'properly use' Corel PhotoPaint?  Websites, tips, (cheap) books?

I'm 'kin determined to get to grips with this ere graphics lark.

I also have a little Land Rover site biased toward
my beloved 101 "Grumble", at: http://www.101fc.net

Reading this in 'alt.fan.landrover'?  Did you know
there's a group FAQ: http://www.aflfaq.dyndns.info
