Can I ask another question.  When I work in Lumanance and Color to help grain, it is what happens in Portraiture?   

Haha.  I just saw your request for me to "Change My Life".  After we adopted 3 older age children that did not speak our language and now all teenagers,  I say, "I need a new life" all the time.  But in the world of Photography I may take you up on this and get rid of LR.    I will certainly give it a try.   Did I totally tick you off when I told you I hit "Auto" in ACR?    It was kinda scary to reveal this fact.    

I pulled this straight into ACR and hit Auto.  Did this fix the white balance and noise problems?  I do see a difference when I hit preview arrow.  

This is what I did in LR  I adjusted the Luminance and color a little then white balance.  

No Prob.  Is it ok if I do the pre editing you mention in LR instead of ARC?  My work flow is doing the pre edit in LR then move into PS.  If so, do I do this then drag the file over to this place to upload?  

Yes.  But I don't know how to post a raw pic.  I changed  it to JPEG and saved on my desktop to pass it onto you.  

Hi Damien,  I realize I need to retake the class and I will asap.  So, please if you can, show me how to mask off the red in his sunburn face with saturation layer mask.    Thanks so much.  Sharon Miles
