How to make sand white??? :)I am a wedding photographer based in Miami. I shoot a lot of beach weddings. Some of my clients want me to make the sand white. How do you achieve this so it looks great?
I have tried to desaturate the sand however I just don't like how it looks. It looks muddy and not real. How do you achieve the white sand look without traveling to Micronesia....? Thanks so much!
Re: How to make sand white??? :)What white balance setting are you using?

Re: How to make sand white??? :)Possibly it shouldn't be me giving you advice, but I take that you shoot in raw format. If so, I would open the picture in Camera Raw and play with the white balance, curves and different settings till you get a desirable effect. There are times when all the playing after a picture is taken in Photoshop or equivalent application is no substitute for the same picture taken in the correct environment and under the right conditions.
I guess, you can use a poor or mediocre picture and convert it into a work of art that people like; this could be your ticket out of a sticky situation.
Re: How to make sand white??? :)Throw a selection around the sand....go to 'HUE/SATURATION' and choose yellow from the dropdown box. Try de-saturating the sand and then do a curves adjustment to lighten it up a little. Methinks that might work.

Re: How to make sand white??? :)post an example.
if your using a desaturation method you need to couple it with adjustment ine colour temp (and with a increase in the blue channel), or else it looks crap. what software you using? ![]() gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
