THE TANS CHANGED TO YELLOWY ORANGE !!

Blaalarry · 2009-09-20 04:24:28

Hi lads, I lately did a travellers wedding and putting it mildly the ladies sort of overdid it with the fake tans. Anyway all pics pretty OK 'till I got to the church shots. As It was a big dark church I needed to use Brightnessand Contrast on PS. That worked well except for.... THE COLOUR OF THE TANS CHANGED TO YELLOWY…

Rofl!

Try a hue/sat adjustment layer, and changing the tone of the yellow to something more natural, you can mask out where you don't need it then.

Did you shoot in raw? When you open the image in photoshop and the raw adjustments come up you can change the tint and temperature of the image, a quick flick through this and you may be able to save the images without emabarrassment to the yellow and orange people.

I shot in a church recently and one member of the party, a christening was overly orange, I was able to recover it without it looking to bad by dropping the temperature and changing the tint by moving up the scale to the pink end.

Hope this helps.

Capture NX 2 is good for making changes to specific colours and small portions of a picture.

Oh yes, Irish girls have that wonderful idea of smearing themselves with colourful dirt of funny colours, because they think it will make them look "different". One is certain, they look like they need a shower.
Keep it as it is, that is my advice. At least they will see how funny they look.

By the way, orange is not always bad colour, as proved here.
