Thanks for the input.
I have used Photoshop since 1994, I was HP's contact with Adobe when I worked in the HP Scanjet division (wrote the documentation for HP scanners). I do not use Lightroom as I do not like the interface. I use Photoshop CC as I pay the fee for all of the Adobe software. I use Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and the rest.
The problem with the lighting was the D&S yard lights had to be left on, .the guy who was doing the lighting was using banks of spot lights and they were not evenly color balanced. The one that was directed at the center of the 476 was very blue. Everyone shooting there had similar problems.
The yard lights created a magenta cast which has to be removed by adding green, the blue cast has to be removed by adding yellow. If the blue cast was over all the image, correction would be easy, but the blue cast is a spot light.
I got rid of the green cast, but there is still a bit of blue from the spot light
Easiest thing to do was to remove all the color.
