Red where there should be red

[BHP]

Greetings.  I'm looking for some direction on how to fix this red.  It's also on the linens of the table.  To our naked eyes, we did not see it.   BTW - wb is 2850 in what you're seeing.

Hi Brenda, may I have a 100% crop of it?

[BHP]

Yep.  It ain't pretty.  lol  I have several with this red issue.  Some with people in them.  Just starting to cull and knew I'd need to figure out how to handle this issue.  Looks like a LR mask but I swear it's not.

Whoa.  Let's not start talking about Photoshop fixes until the raw editing is done properly.

Color temp lowered as well.

 

[Damien Symonds]

No, still very noisy.

[BHP]

Better?

Gah!  I just realized that I couldn't even type the title to this thread correctly.  "red where there should not be red".  Duh on me.

Ok, that's still pretty awful, but until you take the raw class, it's the best you're going to manage, so let's move on.

In Photoshop, add a Channel Mixer layer.  Go to the Green output channel, and enter these values:

• +10
• 0
• +110
• 0

Then mask it to those flowers, and see what you think.

Thank you very much.  That is a great help.  Interesting enough I think it has helped me figure out what is going on and why the red.  It appears that the set up was not exactly lined up well with the lights and we ended up with the right being brighter but without red.  I'll adjust from here but it looks like the curtain affected that left side.

I could use this.
