IF you got Photoshop or other image editing software that can sharpen the Jesus's Lineage pic, try to sharpen it! I messed up on my latest vacation to Jerusalem, where I saw this poster and shot it in the highest resolution my Fuji s9100 could shoot, - 9MP fine. Just 1 photo... I should have taken multiple shots and stitched them together in Photoshop, but I didn't know about the Photomerge command back then.
Here is a night shot [of my minivan] I took in i++ mode of my latest Sony DSC HX300 camera [handheld no tripod]. The streetlight outside is a very amber color, and I want to readjust the photo to a white color for lighting. The 2nd photo shows my best Photoshop CS6 attempt. If you could adjust the color to white lighting and tell me how you did it that would be great!
The issue with first image is noise, and noise reduction which has smoothened some of the details a bit too much. Sharpening in post will not help.
The second image issue is related to White Balance. With JPEG, it is more difficult to adjust. Here is a one click adjustment done in Lightroom, not perfect but just to give you an idea (white balance sliders):
Thanks for your tips, EG. White Balance adjustment is somewhat complicated in Photoshop. My camera has a white balance adjustment, I'll use it the next time for a night shot to see if I can shoot the yellow light out, and get a white picture from the camera.

When shooting under street lights, it is difficult to escape the yellow hue, as street light is yellow in colour. You best bet is to play with the white balance settings on your camera until you find which setting will give you the best result under those conditions.

A good place to start is know the color "temperature" of the street lights. If it looks very yellowish to your eye, then it is probably a High Pressure Sodium lamp and the color temp is 2200K usually. That is a good place to start on white balance. The other main light is a Metal-Halide type which can run from 5500k to 3200k depending on the lamp used but generally for street lighting they use the 4000k version. which is a great place to start for white balance. There are other types used but those are the main two types of street lighting. Knowing 2200k and 4000k will get you in the ballpark usually for white balance.
I just bought Corel Paintshop Pro Ultimate Cyber Monday Sale for $49.99 and it has a great white balance correctiung function that's better than Lightroom's!
