Nic you have an affinity for churches ... which is a good thing as your skills just explode with devine images and heavenly tone. I'd shoot churches but I couldn't afford the entrance fees.

Nik, really nice. If you want to tone down the green/magenta cross, convert your image into the Lab color space and in curves open the a channel and pull the lower end point up and the higher end point down--the line should still intersect the center of the curve. That will preserve the warmth of the stone while minimizing the green/magenta. If the a curve becomes a horizontal line, you can eliminate those color completely. Hope you don't mind me making an example of your image.

Took these the other day. Went out to St. Pete for a show and stopped to say hi to a friend.

Thanks Gary ,

Thankfully the entry to this Cathedral is free, although I have made a few contributions to the donation box. It's worth it to get a chance look inside such a wonderful building.

No problems, Will. I'm usually stabbing the dark when it comes to intricacies of colour management so your example is a good one to learn from. It's always been hard to get colours right inside this Cathedral because of the combination of natural and artificial light. The GH1 has great white balance outdoors in daylight but can get tripped up indoors.

I think the original with the interplay of the pastel colors on the interior surfaces of the church is far more interesting than the "corrected" one.
