The same image was processed in the RAW conversion two times and saved as two seperate images with different file names. After that both images were brought into Photoshop and Ashely appeared on both pictures but with the two white balance settings on them. Erase Ashley off of the one with the cooler Auto white balance and that will leave a hole there with nothing in her place. Then drag that layer to the other picture where Ashley and everything else is in tact and merge them together in perfect registration. The one that had a hole on it now has Ashley showing through that hole, but in the warmer Flash white balance. The end result is a picture with two white balance settings being used to make one picture.

Thanks
