Changing grey background to white, subject has grey hair

[Kim Howells]

Hi Damo, I am guessing there is no magic answer for this one, but is there a way other than painstakingly masking to change the background from grey to white?  Thankfully the client has these photos and wanted the grey, I am just having a play with an ad where a white BG would be handy.

Thanks

Not even that, I'm afraid.  Put it out of your mind, it's impossible.

Thanks.  I just tried it, and realised it is impossible haha!
