iPhone 5s yellow tint in camera roll

I got a new 5s over the holidays specifically because I wanted a better phone camera before our new baby comes. However, my phone takes REALLY yellow photos. Even when I try to color correct, they are significantly yellowed. I downloaded the Photoshop app, and the simple act of opening a photo in Photoshop fixes the yellow tint, even without applying any filters or color correction. Can anyone help? I'm happy to have at least a temporary solution, but having to consistently edit every photo I take with my phone seems redundant. Especially when this seems to be some issue with the camera or camera roll?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

Ok, so I figured it out.... I must have selected a filter in my camera roll at some point, and it just kept taking pictures with that filter. I think it's REALLY dumb that the default isn't NO FILTER. Plus, there's no batch edit, so I've got over 100 photos with yellow tint that I have to fix one at a time. *sigh* Anyway, I thought I'd post the resolution for anyone else having the same problem I did who might be searching for an answer.

thank you very much as I could not work out why my photos were yellow. I fixed it but agree that it should be the default for no filter
