Here's an easy, reliable fix. This two stage process, using Adobe PhotoShop (full version), will brighten your day and make you feel glad that you have a D1. It's good for "people pictures", pets, wildlife, landscapes, product shots, sports, flowers, architecture & real estate work, whatever. (Pictured below are screenshots from Adobe PhotoShop)   Stage One: Screenshot shows location of the "Selective Color" adjustment.   Under "Reds" (only), adjust the Cyan to minus 100% and the Magenta to minus 35%. Note that the "Relative" method checked. Click on "OK" when done.   Stage Two: Screenshot shows location of the "Hue/Saturation" adjustment.       Under "Master" (only), adjust the Hue to minus 2. Click on "OK" when done. That's it. Nothing else required. Before & after samples using the procedure - Before: Magenta and cyan tones to skin. Flat, dull, & off-colored reds. (Click picture for 1200 x 787 pixel view) After: Reds pop back to reality. Skin tones, too. Note that the bad tones are corrected, but the picture's other colors are unaffected. (Click picture for 1200 x 787 pixel view) Before: Sallow and cyan cast to the whole picture. Yukky skin tones. Greenish tint to the surfer's hair.
