Well...Yesterday I was following some tutorial online that suggested using RGB. I also know that my bridge has been using AdobeRGB1998 for as long as I can remember and never had any problems?
You know that's nonsense, right? Adobe RGB must NEVER be used.
-
Remind me why you're using Adobe RGB?
I need screenshots, not the images themselves. I know the images are the same.
-
May I see that comparison? A screenshot of Bridge, and one of PS?
-
But they look ok in Bridge?
-
That's ok, I was actually going to blame the calibrator, but if you don't have one, it can't be the culprit
What about if you open a jpeg file into Photoshop? (No ACR involvement). Does it look ok? Is this problem only happening with raw files?
-
I'm running CS5 on Win10 just fine.
How many screens do you have, and which calibrator?
-
No, it was quite specific to this photo. Another photo of the same scalp might require different numbers, and a different scalp might require an entirely different method altogether.

Do you mind showing us the result?

Thank you so much!

My pleasure. It's what I'm here for.

Great. So, click on the mask of one of those layers, and apply a little bit of Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur, to make the edge just soft enough to be plausible. Then repeat on the mask of the other layer.

No, you didn't

The solution is so easy you'll fall of your chair.
- Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
- On the Reds channel, move the Lightness slider all the way to +100.
- On the Yellows channel, move the Lightness slider to about +15 or so.
- Mask loosely to the hair. No precision required, as you'll see.

Generally it's easier to lighten the shadow areas, rather than try to add shadow to sunny areas. I use this method.
Make sure you open up the shadows as much as possible during your raw processing, before attempting any magic in Photoshop.
As you yourself indicated in your question, the goal here is to reduce the severity of the problem to a modest degree. Removing the problem altogether is impossible.

Bummer. I don't know, I'm so sorry.

Just to check, you're right-clicking on a folder? It doesn't work if you right-click on individual files.

Oh, right.
You do have Bridge installed, though? Do you use it habitually?

Well, that would definitely depend on the paint colour of the ceiling.

Of course! Just brighten her using adjustment layers.

I used the bit of fluff from another photo to try and stop the arms looking too straight
Yes, it's really impressive, well done!

I think it's feasible for sure! The problem is not the composite, it's the lighting. You need to brighten the baby, I reckon.
