Corrected Pelicans on the move
Andy correctly pointed out it was too red. When I processed it I was struck by how red it was but nothing I could do would make it bluer without ruining everything. So I gave up and figured it was right. Andy's comment got me to go back and look at my key logger. I'm still learning photoshop and sometimes I do something great but don't know how I did it. So I put in a keystroke logger and avoid using the mouse when possible so I can better track what I did.
I found that after I had loaded in the color frames there was a gap of time with no keystrokes then some very odd ones. Most did nothing in Photoshop but two turned the green and blue layers to transparent! That left only the red layer. I then composited it which caused the red layer to duplicate to the green and blue layers so all were exactly the same. No wonder it was red and nothing would fix it.
But why those odd key strokes. Then it hit me. I'd left and gone to the bathroom. One of our cats sleeps behind my computer (see shot attached for his bed though he wasn't in it when I took the shot months ago). He, for reasons we've never figured out, follows anyone into the john. Rather than jump all the way to the floor he jumps to my chair, to do this he walks across the computer keys if I leave the computer open. Usually this is obvious when I return. It wasn't this time. Anyway here it is with the right color balance!
