My digital camera takes pictures with a greenish hue. How do I fix this?
Ive got a Kodak DX digital camera that takes pictures fine, and, in fact, the pictures look great on the PC. But when printed at the printer, they seem to have a slightly greenish hue slight, but still there. Any idea how something like that can be corrected for future pictures taken with the camera?

Answer

There are several possible reasons why the picture looks green It is eitherbr the lighting when you took the photobr the camera white balance was offbr your monitor settings are slightly offbr the printer calibration is offbr the ink colors are lowbrbrIf all of your prints from any source look greenish, then it is probably not or . You might test your monitor by downloading an image from somewhere else and printing it. If the print looks like the monitor colors, then the monitor calibration is probably not at fault. If the print is still greenish then it might be the printer or ink. If it only happens when you print pictures you took with your camera then it may be related to the camera, software or printer. Check the print driver for information on tweaking the color profiles available to the printer. You might also want to print a few pictures on a Kodal Picture Maker kiosk to see if they are also greentinted.brbrThe newer kodak software, the Easyshare software currently in version , has a special printing software plugin called quotOne Touch to Better Picturesquot OTTBP. It basically tweaks your printer to work with Kodaks color science and Kodak paper. If I remember correctly, your camera came with Kodak Picture Software KPS, and I think this earlier software lacks the plugin. This software can also enhance images and may remove greentinting if the color is in the image itself.brbrI recommend going to httpwww.kodak.coma and downloading the newest version of Kodaks EasyShare software and then installing the OTTBP profile for your printer. You should also download and install the newest printer driver for your printer. If that does not correct the problem then you may have an issue with the printer or camera.
