Thank you , Sarah... I do not want you to spend time on fixing these photos.. not that important images. and the compositions are not that good either... I just wanted to know how to correct pictures like this....at least to remove the blue tint... I did try finding blacks/ whites and true midtones using THRESHOLD and CURVES layers, but cannot get good results.. mostly because... I cannot find good midtones grey in those images....ANY OTHER TECHNIQUE
also a half of the image is overexposed and the hills in the background lacking details...which probably has something to do with the camera / smart phone I used..and the light conditions.. heavy overcast with spots of sun light getting thru in certain areas
just wanted to know what method to use to improve pictures like this one
for the overexposed front of the image and underexposed back ( hills).. maybe using " magic wand" ( select) the back area) ..then use some exposure correction on that area... then invert... and work on the overexposed front of the image... WOULD SOMETHING LIKE THAT WORK??? in photoshop??
Thanks Sarah  |

I normally correct toning using Levels, hue and saturation, or colour balance, and sometimes if the image has too much blue tone in it, or another colour, I will add a colour overlay on top of the background layer, and fade it out as much as needed. With regards to the clouds, if the sky is so exposed that there is no detail there, because it's such a light colour, there is nothing you can do with the exposure correction, however, you can add your own clouds and blend them into the image |

Go Jerry, try this. Open the photo as background layer. then open a curves adjustment layer. Choose the white eyedropper and click on the left edge of the white cabana, or whatever that white roofed object is, check my marked copy of your photo. it will gt you started |
