The OP will have to decide that. It may look more gold in the yellow light.

OK David. I moved the photograph from LR to PS, used the Magnetic Lasso tool to outline and create a clipping mask and then used the Levels adjustment layer to adjust the color of the cape.

Very nice. Of course, I wasn't there and don't really know what it actually looked like. The OP would have to make a choice.

SoftLights,

Look at my latest post!

Honestly, in such situations the best thing is to work for a decent skin tone and let the chips fall where they may. If you can, use only ambient light next time or get an LED light with color temperature adjustment. Most of the corrections I see here have wreaked havoc with skin tones.

DirtFarmer, thank you for your suggestion but, SoftLights is the originator of this post and he posted the original photograph, therefore, what you suggest does not apply in this case.

But you were asking SoftLights to "Look at your recent post". I was suggesting that you place a link to your recent post there so that there would be no confusion as to which recent post you were referring to.

Oh! Thank you, I understand. It no longer gives me the option to edit that post. Is there a way around that?

when high speed eckachrome 400,(1969) first came out I photoed a bridal shower with it without flash.. the room had green walls and the photos were all greenish.. Your brain makes everything look normal, the film does NOT. Ever put on a yellow ski mask? The world turns yellow fer a bid, then normal. when you take it off, the world turns blue fer a bit... Your brain at work... Your photos are accurate, sorry. Ed

Not that I know of. Just file the information away for later.

This is quite true, and this also applies to mixed light situations. You can have a very cool light on a face in a room illuminated by incandescent light, and the face does not appear blue nor the room orange. But as soon as you take the image and print it or put it on a monitor, the difference in color temps becomes painfully obvious.

If you have a single color cast it is relatively easy to correct with a global adjustment, but that's not possible in a mixed light situation.

Consider two red patches, one lit by a tungsten light, and one by daylight, right next to one another in a frame. There is no way to get both to be red by an overall adjustment. If the red lit by daylight is too magenta, balancing that with more yellow will turn the red illuminated by tungsten orange. Applying blue to correct that will turn the red illuminated by daylight into magenta. If they were separate you could correct either easily, but you can't make both red in the same frame. Shooting raw will not help, because you cannot apply both a yellow and blue correction simultaneously. They cancel each other out.

The only answer is to balance your light sources so that they are at or near the same temperature. In the given situation, if you add fill light via flash, you would need an orange CC filter over the flash head. Most pro strobes have those at least as an accessory, but with a pop-up flash, as the OP seems to have used, you need to jerryrig something.

Sometimes it's possible to select problem areas and give them their own adjustments (worth remembering).

The easiest way would be to create two layers, one with correction for the parts illuminated with the flash and the other balanced for the ambient lighting, and use non-destructive layer masking. It would be a bit of work, to be sure, but absolutely possible.

Many thanks bpulv. You're right David, it was a very light gold so I can certainly live with it.
Thanks again to all of you for your input, gives me many options to work with.
