Recently, i have been using this great photoshop plug-in to improve the white balance on most of my photos, especially ones form the T5 parking lot, which look far to yellow because of the floodlights. I use this to try to give them a much more real color... (yes, this does raise the question of was is "real" color),
from example, going from this:

Yes, The White Balance Tool in Photoshop is very helpful.

the second shot definately looks less sharp than the first. IMO the color of the first is fine. that's just the way the airplane looks under floodlights on the ramp.

The examples shown are misleading, as they are different photos (diff aircraft, etc.).

Can you show us an actual before and after?

Personally, i like the first just fine, but those screeners at airliners slapped a color rejection on it.

there were also a few topics on JP fours that encouraged me to change my mind:
