Markbd Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Hi Damien Any quick tips on how I could replace the green reflection on this dogs chin, with a natural looking white? The same with the yellow on the cheek . Cheers Mark Edited May 8, 2016 by Markbd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Can you post a crop like this please? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Also, may I see the whole SOOR? Also, please don't waste your computer space by being in 16-bit. It's entirely unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Apologies, I did a reset on my lightroom and it switched it back to 16bit. Here are the images you asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Gosh, no, something's gone badly wrong here. Do your raw processing properly, then post the closeup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 No, it still looks pretty awful. Did you actually shoot raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The pixels are really damaged. Until we fix this problem, any attempt to fix the cast will look really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Back to the drawing board then with this one. I'll repost later :0( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 My first efforts were in Lightroom, so i went with ps raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That's a slightly different photo, I assume? Lol @ the file name!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 A Hue/Saturation layer, with "Colorize" checked, at +220/+8/0. Painted on to the areas. See what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Finally, got it done :0) So what is actually happening when you hit the colorize check button? Thank you for your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well, it essentially makes the entire photo black-and-white (the way it would if you left Colorize turned off but moved the Saturation slider all the way to -100) then adds a bit of colour tint to it. It's a feature which seems, at a glance, to be very handy, but actually I find I hardly ever use it. It worked nicely here, though. However, I fear it only worked nicely here because your white balance was so appalling. I beg you to take the Raw Class as soon as you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Surely it wasn't that far off regarding WB :0) I'd appreciate you showing me what you think the WB for this image should be. Then I can realise that I need to sign up immediately :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markbd Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm blessed having a rare blue dog!? I must have a wonky white balance eye! When I adjust the white balance it makes the dog look a very flat black which looks off for me? Better get on the raw class! I'll give Damien a whistle when if I am get on it! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set of images you posted seemed fine (besides being crazy sharp), I don't know why your edits became colder when you started over.
