SX2002 Loc: Adelaide, South Australia
 
Hi Guys,
The girl on the right is our dear friend really ill with cancer, The girl on the left is her daughter.
She has a natural red "glow", can anyone make her face look better without being so red..?
I want to print the pic and give it to them but figure a less red face would look better.
Cheers,
Ron.

You are welcome! It was a fun excuse to try to improve my masking and color correction in Lightroom Classic. I'm sure there is a better way that I should know, but don't.

Your signature suggests that you are from a very far away place from where I live!

I made the cardinal sin of not checking the highpass layer back on.

Many ways to do it. I simply used an HSL adjustment layer in Affinity. Selected red and picked the red on her face. Then narrowed in the selection by reducing saturation to zero then moving each end of the HSL wheel in until the color just started to return in her face. Then set the saturation back to where her face looks how you want it (less red) Next I put a black mask on the HSL adjustment layer and used a white brush at about 13% flow to go over just her face until it looked good to me. The black mask insures only her face is affected by the adjustment layer. I also went over her hands and arms a bit getting rid of some of the red.

I found it a challenge, to correct the daughter's face without washing out the Mom's face.
Your color-impaired friend,

I suspect a certain amount of sunburn. Tried to glam up both ladies.

Ron, I really like challenges like this. May I please have another go?
Is it possible that the daughter is blushing? Look at the difference between the daughter's left arm and her neck and face.
The daughter's left arm and her Mother's face are similarly light.
Another possibility could be the color temperature/focus of the (ambient/flash) lighting.
Thanks for the exercise . . . .
