Title: Not so mellow yellow
Post by: Shadow on June 30, 2018, 06:43:37 PM
Hi Gang. Knee deep in yellow here! Below is orig and one with an Auto Curves layer. How do I tame the yellow cast? So far everything I've tried takes me to almost black and white. All your wisdom welcome!!

Wow Shadow! I think you did a great job just getting this far. I thought maybe doing a gray point adjustment might work and it didn't. My other thought is to use what you have and add a new layer and made the mode "color." Use a soft brush and very low opacity and pick color for the children's faces and build up. And then later work on the red knee caps.

Maybe a good time to start drinking?  ;)  Good luck and maybe you will get some better tips.

Thanks Margie. We went with ice cream instead  ;)   Started over and this is where we are. By all means, jump in if you have some ideas! We'll fix you a delicious rootbeer float  :)

Thanks Lynn and Margie. Tess ran this little bugger through a Kodak digital roc filter and got some good colors. So, started over again and this is where we are. Sure would appreciate some good eyes gang!

Starting to look great Lyn!  :up2:
Tess's ROC helped a lot too. 
You can try upping the Vibrance and Contrast, |I tried that here.
You would still need to use Margie's tip, a color layer and repair skin, blotches etc. (can't do that myself at the moment)

High Shadow.  One filter that may help or might have helped is the Dehaze filter in photoshop.  Open the image and select the Camera Raw Filter in photoshop and try dehaze.   I just did that to your photo.  It does seem to bring out saturation in desaturated areas.
Just a  fyi

Thanks Margie!  :hug:

Wow Phil! Just checked and that little gem is only available on cloud subscriptions of PS or LR.    :mad:  For all with PS CC or LR CC, check out the Haze Filter!
