Some curves, cropping, minor tweaking and USM

for digital, usually curves and USM
for film, just USM.

Guys, correct me if I am wrong. As far as I know, the WB can only be tweaked on RAW images and NOT JPEG images right? "JPEG's WB cannot be changed".

usm, saturation, contrast ... as far as possible i try to nail the white balance ... if u gotta do WB correction ... then well ... maybe it's time to put some effort into getting the WB right? ...

and WB can be corrected in JPEGs ... use color balance lor .. or selective color and slowly tweak ..

Thanks, Expiredyoghurt.

To modify white balance settings for jpgs you can try using auto-color in photoshop. I find it much faster than manually tweaking. The results tend to be a little "cold" ie. bluish but can be easily corrected using photo filters.
