I have a few pictures where a yellow hue is apparent in the very white highlights of the sun. I’m using a Canon i960 printer with Canon paper. All other colors are perfect, but for the highlights. Any thoughts?? Many thanks

Look at the colors in Photoshop using the mighty Info Palette.

If red and green are both greater than blue in the original image, then you’ll see a yellow cast. You may get rid of this color cast in a variety of ways – the best is to use a curve, what else?

OTOH, if the whte highlights have roughly equal r, g, and b values, the problem is somewhere in your color settings and method of printing. I usually steer people to Ian Lyon’s web page for this, since he discusses color settings for several versions of Photoshop:
