if you have Lightroom you can turn down the red easily using the color tool or you can do it using Curves - choose the Red channel, and then lower the highlights (top right).

i didnt even know you could select curves on only one colour ! that sounds like it could be very useful. i found the colour sliders in NX that have RGB. thanks for the tip !

np - I didn't realize how powerful curves is until recently. It's really quite amazing what you can do with it, while preserving IQ.

ps. ditto on the 11-16, crazy! Would love to see some shots from that. I could look some up online but I'd rather see yours. :D

dont go waiting for any nice landscapes mate cos i suck at it. best to look elswhere for that ! would love to see the tokina in prospero or aldor's hands. i got the tokina cos of the sharpness i wanted for UWA portraits.

doesn't need to be a landscape, could be a wide shot of the city or something. Or, some exhibit at the zoo :)

some shots here but you dont know the extent of PP!
