you might post a pic as an example.
In Aperture, the "Edit with: dodge and burn" selection gets you to a screen where you can go in and, well of course, dodge and burn. But you can also selectively desaturate, saturate, adjust contrast, sharpen, etc., with selectable "strength".
The Nik Suite for Aperture includes Viveza, where you can locally select a a specific color, and change its saturation, brightness, etc.
Are you talking about the catchlights, or an overall tint to the white of the eye? |

| Is the color tinge only in the eyes or is it just more noticeable there? Seems odd that you would be having colors show up just there. Are you bouncing off of a surface with multiple colors? |

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. Or the AWB might be messing with the image, too. |

| That was my other guess... you could always manually set WB and see if it still happens at all, even if it's off, it should be consistently off. My last guess is that you have lighting of mixed temperatures so depending which reflects, you have that color reflection... |

That just looks like badly placed catchlights. I think because she's looking at you, the eyes caught some of the actual flash and gave you those pinhole catchlights. If you had held the flash in your hand off camera left, I think the catchlight placement would have been better and not in the center of the pupil. As for the blue.... I'm not terribly sure. Was there anything behind you that might have been blue? I would say it's pretty obviously not from any settings you chose, and therefore must be environmental. Did you have this problem in lots of different areas?

Hi
I seem to be getting this with a lot of shots lately,I started using a Gary Fong Lightsphere-II Cloud, Size C1 and thought this might be causing it, so stopped using it and im still getting the problem????? |

well, in this example I think the reflection is the culprit. Her skin tones look good and her dress looks white from the back, so I don't think your light is a problem. The reflection is greenish a bit, which I would attribute to the greenish light coming in from the window, perhaps, and/or some tinting added by bounce from the not-purely-neutral-white walls.
Her entire face is shaded compared to the directly lit highlight on the side of her face, so her eyes will appear darker, and the whites of her eyes will reflect the bounced light color more. If the walls have a little green or blue or beige in them, so will her eyes.
A reflector off to camera left, next to the mirror, bouncing some softened light from your strobe onto her front might help here.
You might want to get one of these and include it in some set up shots--will help you color correct later. There are a variety of sizes--the small one can be held or "worn" by the model for test shot. The larger versions can do double duty as reflectors (silvered on the other side).
Also, if you have changed your lighting setup (added the Fong) it is possible you need a custom white balance tweek. Are you doing jpg only, and what are your white balance settings?
This shot might also look very nice in b/w :-) |
