I've tried working in Photoshop Elements in order to salvage some overly blue underwater images, and I'm guessing most people have spent time using some kind of photo editing software to resurrect their photos, as well. I was pleased with the results, but I can't say that my jaw hit the floor with the outstanding final product I created. If you've been unhappy with your photo-doctoring, perhaps Sabine Noack's tutorial will help. Posted on Digital Diver, Noack's How-To -- called "Getting rid of that ugly cyan cast" -- is comprehensive, clearly laid out, and features lots of sample photos, so don't let the PDF's 30 pages frighten you away. The sad part is that her solution isn't a one-button fix. The good news is that the results she achieves are fairly impressive.
Of course, the real solution is get in the water and practice, practice, practice. That way, you'll soon be spending more time diving and shooting rather than diving and futzing around in Photoshop. Good luck.
