Skin Color Correction -How do I correct From Blue (from stage lighting) to Natural?

Try the following

• Create a layer above your image
• Make sure you have the brush tool selected and then hold down alt and click on part of the screen that has the colour cast (in this case the blue) this will set the foreground colour to the colour cast
• On the new layer hold down alt and click on delete - this will fill the new layer with the colour cast
• Change the layer blend mode to colour
• Now hold down ctrl and I - this will give you the exact opposite colour on the layer
• Now just adjust the opacity of the layer until the colour cast disappears.

Hope that works for you. This is what I ended up with.



Cheers

I can`t explain how I did this as easily as the other gentleman here as I just played around until I thought it looked OK. Take care.

Hard one, i did a harsh job on the selections., way too many XD.... I almost didnt see that hair scarf blended on the hair :biglaff:.



Cheers!

Thank you fredfish! What you said was easy to do and worked! At least this is much better looking than that blue.

Thanks Argos! I'm gonna try bringing out the scarf and dress like you did here.

Thanks BKToronto, I'm not sure what you did either, but it defiantly looks better than blue!

If you want to re-introduce any of the original colours (EG the scarf and / or the dress) just add a layer mask to the solid colour layer and paint back in the original colour. If you do it with a brush of a fairly low opacity you can build up the colour to your liking.

Cheers
