Hi I have some .png images that are basically white on white. Some of the white is very over saturated and looks bad... any ideas of how to balance the color and not have it look too "grey-ish" ?

Picture attached, any help appreciated! :)

Try Curves.

I did I meant curves when I said levels... duh! Using curves gives it a dull or grey looking color.

Looks like I am rendering a new one using different lights... *sigh long project,i am just exhausted.

Thank you...

Ariana

 You can try the dodge and burn tool with varying opacity on a duplicate layer and change the color blend mode. I use dodge and burn for a lot of my highlights and shadows...

hope it helps,

ThanX Scott!

I'll give that a try... easier then doing a bunch of long renders and light tests! White is really a pain in poser!

Yeah - sadly those aren't over"saturated" they're over"exposed". That's a lights thing I'm afraid. Gonna have to re-render.

Is it possible to tone down the specularity on the legs? Or render 2 versions - 1 so the back half of the tiger looks great, and turn of Specularity on the LIGHTS for the blown-out areas and merge them in PS?

I hope this helps-
