All WireImage and Getty Images photographers (myself included) use the same software to review, cull, edit, caption and transmitt images to the global picture desk inbox. The software is called GIFT and is an acronym of
Getty
Images
Field
Tool. It's based on BreezeBrowser and is reasonably painless to use.
Part of the GIFT workflow involves the use of Photoshop and it is the
photographer's job to take care of all things related to image quality
before they transmit the shots.
The picture desk editors simply process the received files through the relevant library systems and, by and large, do not do any editing of photos once received. That said, they can and will reject transmitted photos if they fall below their quality threshold.
In this case, Getty photographer Frank Micelotta was probably shooting JPG's with either a pre-set or Auto WB that was just off the mark and, rather than correct the issue in PS, he transmitted his images ASAP.
FYI: WireImage had
eight photographers covering this event, each assigned slightly different roles... at the end of the day, just over 2000 shots from this one event ended up going live on the WI website
