Beautiful blue sky and I had my white balance on tungsten for about 50 pics. I have Photoshop CS2 but am a compleate amature. Any tips for fixing these pics.

can you post some examples?

since you have CS2,
as a very quick fix, try the "auto colours" tools in the menus.
might wanna try "auto curves" as well.

Also a Photo Filter adjustment layer can fix WB issues also. You'll want a warming filter.

if you shot in RAW, easy fix.

if you shot in jpeg, a bit more tricky in PS2 to be beliveable (sp).

some tips to find grey point
the thread is what I use to fix white balance and I would read moodville's tutorial since my way is somewhat of an addition to her tutorial.

In CS2, you can go to Image, Adjustments, Levels, Options, then in the popup, make sure Enhance per Channel Contrast is selected (middle box) and in the two boxes below it for shadow & highlight, type in 0.50 in each clip box and select Set as Default on the bottom.
That gets it pretty close usually. You can always try this tutorial I wrote.

Wow, you guy's rule. I just fixed a couple of pics. The color just jumps out now, they are so much warmer. I'll try to figure out how to post a sample tommorow.
