LOL , Thanks for replying so quickly , but ummm
how do you do that with ps ?

[tommy96814]

i dont know when i use photoshop i only use the already made filters

I'm thinking it's your lighting.
Are your pictures still that orangey color if you take pictures outside?

Hmmm , well , when I do , it's not that orangey colour
but I want it to be inside =/

[kangin]

Aw I'm sorry girl, it's probably the actual lighting of your house/room :[
You can try messing around with the flash on your camera, that might fix it D:

it is quite normal asians have yellow skin

Lighting and white balance will really change the color of a shot.

Photoshop can also change it go to the levels and you will get a funky histogram and....


for yours I played with the levels a bit... dropped the saturation... and messed with the brightness and contrast.


Is it the pale look you want... no not quite that part you would have to do with the camera, both with the white balance and make sure the room is brighter and all that.

Oh yeah you're the best ! LOL thanks !

I have a cybershot too...try fiddling around with the white balance option to get rid of the orangy-yellow color.
Good luck!

[butterflyeffect]

Uljjangs use Cyworld or Cystudio. haha
It's a lot easier than photoshop.

Same as what the others have said, you can mess with the Levels using PS (and if you dare, try the Color Balance and Curves, too). iPhoto has an "Enhance" button do this stuff like this for you. Check with whatever photo program you have.

I advise, though, that you should try to get the best shot with your own camera first before you rely on PS. I have an old Sony Cybershot (DSC-P72) model, and let me say that the white balance has been very helpful. If you're indoors, you can try the light bulb (orange/yellow lighting) or florescent bulb (white lighting) setting. I try not to use flash as much because it gives a different feeling.

Here's a sample:

The first picture was taken without changing any of the settings. I left it on whatever it was set to beforehand (bad idea). The second picture was taken with the white balance on the "light bulb" setting. Nothing else changed. The third was taken with flash.



I hope you can tell the difference. The second picture isn't as orange, and if there was better lighting than a single lamp in the room, it would have been brighter.

Hope this helps a little.


[edit] I didn't Photoshop any of those pics yet, so it could have turned out better than what you are looking at.

Well on photoshop, I just change the color by doing this:

go to image
& then adjustments
& variations
& play around with the color of the midtones

^^~
hope that helped! ^^

Yeah, it's the lighting that gives you that color. Flourescent lightbulbs usually add that redness.
Haven't tried it on PS yet...

[Fishscene]

Yes, like others have stated before, this is a "light temperature" problem

All lights have a different "Color temperature", that is, they naturally give off more colors in a certain specture than other colors. "warm" lights, are the common household lightbulbs. They give off a orangish-tone. "cool" lights give off more in the blue spectrum, and "harsh" lights give off more in the green. Fluorescent lights are a good example of this green color. If you ever buy those energy-saving fluorescent bulbs, plug it in, turn it on and you will notice your hand looks greenish.
______________
When you use the flash setting on your camera, the camera knows it is using flash, so it adjusts it's white-balance accordingly and automatically. However, it also gives a stark and sharp picture. But maybe your are going for a more natural look. In this case, you would find a white-balance setting for "indoor" or a lightbulb "shape"
______________

White balance, is simply telling the camera what is white. Your eyes and brain automatically determine this and adjusts itself accordingly- even though we don't realize it is happening. Camera's aren't quite like that though. By setting the white-balance to, say, "indoors", You are actually telling the camera that it should remove some of the warmer tones from the picture, and thus, display a picture that is a little closer to what your eye is seeing.

-Hope this helps a little with what's going on in the background

i think your question has been answered already
but i'm just posting this in case you need it


use colour balance. just play around with the colours. it depends on your skin colour and the lighting is also very important. pics will def turn out yellowish if your lights are the orangey type
i usually play around the settings until i am satisfied with the colour i want.

i also edited this photo to make it paler:



i selected a more 'teal' colour for the picture, so now i looks fairer.
on the other hand, if i want to give the person in the picture a 'healthier' look,
i'd select 'orange' or 'red'. cos too pale isnt nice either.

but of course, under orange light, pick teal/any other colour that makes your skin look paler.

I also get yellowish/orangey pictures when i take pics under orange light

Haha i'm not much of a help but i hope it helped you in some way

3 components:
lighting, ps and make up.

[SUKIloo]

Hmm different answers but they all sum up =D

Actually, which camera do you have? Maybe we can point out where to navigate through the menus..

Well.. I looked at mine and you have to use it in either P or M mode to get more control over the picture... when you get into that mode click the menu button and go around and see if you can find WB and a bunch of funky icons.. (I have a Sony W1)
