That light from those sodium vapor lamps really kills the color in your photos.

There is no amount of histogram tweaking or level adjustment that will make that picture come out correctly. It's those stinking sodium vapor lights that only emit light at a very specific wavelength, bathing everything in orange.

Adjusting the orange to make it look white creates a totally false colored image, since the original had almost no good color information to work with. Even your corrected image lacks depth. Solution: take pics on a sunny day or under full-spectrum UV lights

Sorry, I'm a bit of a digital image processing nerd.

While its true that those orange lights ruin pictures, you can work with them... If he had adjusted the white balance on the camera to begin with, in addition to photoshop tweaking, the picture would look perfectly fine. However, you are right that daylight, or white light shots would look better.

What will be the correct white balance setting for that type of scenario then?

I usually just set the camera to the bluest setting, and then in photoshop add lots of blue and cyan to the color balance.
