I always take photographs with a white background but they always come out grayish/bluish instead of white. I tried everything, i shot under natural sun light, adjusted / measured white balance in my camera but they still don't work. Is PS the solution only? I hate spending so much time tweaking one image after another




here's the image, i've only resized it, for this picture below, i know i could've simply adjust the brightness/contrast level to make it brighter/whiter, however my problem is the shadow remain bluish...not to mention the edges around the picture too

thanks for your suggestion, pic uploaded !

Nairud, i used to have a lightbox built, however i think i didn't have the correct light source so the image always come out yellowish (what the heck is wrong with me?), so i abandoned the light tent and took pictures under sunlight instead (in my balcony, usually around 10-12.

I was wondering if i had to use light, what kind of light would you suggest? (i'm flying blind here)

thanks in advance

hey compac..i don't know what is EXIF data....

I took the pictures without flash wor...

I preset di, i measured the white balance on a white sheet (with light on) then only take pictures... but still blueish

I right click on the original file also don't have Exif date like you show me...how come??? (i clicked on propertise tab)

i'm sorry...very cheap black camera... Nikon Coolpix L4 (4.0 megapixel)

I tried it , still abit bluish, but much better than those i've took. I guess at the end of the day i'll still need to make slight adjustment in PS elements

thanks for the help compmac !
