you are welcome.

i mostly use a freeware program called irfanview. it allows fixing a lot of image woes. like color balance. it also has a function to decrease file size without losing detail or color. nice for processing images before uploading attachments here.

pictures outdoors in sunlight generally come out best.

indoors is more of a problem and more light dependent. the color and type of artificial light as well as intensity can cause anomalies. the intense blue blanket it was on along with cool lighting likely fooled the cameras logic circuits . i try to wait for a nice sunny day before photographing my new toys.

adobe photoshop helps in the worst cases. i spent a good part of a year as a consultant scanning & tarting up thousands of paper photos of employees for a major financial institution's annual meeting brochure & to computerize their photo files, making sure they were all the same size, color balance and fixing/removing defects and removing the backgrounds and substituting the official corporate mottled blue background. it was fun & i got paid for playing. and i worked from home mostly.
