Photo editing - purple turning blue
Hello! I was just wondering what type of editing I can do to make these look more purple.
The "blue" beads are actually ink blue-violot and very purple... not blue at all.

I played with your picture in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2
Adjusted hue/saturation
Lightened background
adjusted contrast
My camera dosen't like purple either.
What editing program are you using?

I've found that adjusting curves works well... also not using a flash

Yes!! This matches much much better. Thank you
Steph
(I'm not using an editor right now, my computer crashed)
Is there a setting on the camera to help the color appear correctly?

Not that I know of. I think lighing would be most important for you if you don't have an editing program and like Camie said I wouldn't use a flash.

When I think about it... I did have the flash on.
Thank you Laura and Camie, I'll try it without the flash.

adjusting curves is in photoshop
you'll need a tripod to not use a flash unless you have a really nice camera and great lighting. Sometimes I cover my flash with a white piece of fabric if i have decent light but my camera won't take the shot without holding the shutter open forever or using a flash.

See if you camera has a white balance setting, other than automatic and play with that.

Check to see if your camera has a white balance setting for "cloudy" or "shade". That setting bumps the reds and oranges. That would make your blue come out more purple.

Well, I turned off the flash and it's still blue. The blurriness shouldn't be a problem (if I actually attach the camera to the tri-pod) ...
Any other advice on how to get purple instead of blue..
What do you have your aperture set on?
I have a Sony cybert shot and it has manual features but I don't see anything for clouds or shade. I set the white balance by focusing the camera on the space I'll be placing the beads and press "set".
Thank you for your help...and sorry I'm not picking this up quicker.
