Correcting Jaundice Newborn

[Jenny_11]

Can you please advise me on the best way to correct jaundice skin on newborns?

This babe is very orange and yellow!! 

Thanks!

Is this your Straight out of Raw?  (If not, please post that for Damien as well.  Raw edits done, but no PS work. )

Hi Jenny, as Anna-Lena said, it would be handy to see your SOOR, if you don't mind.

However, in general terms I can tell you that even though we think of jaundice as "yellow", in technical terms it's actually rather closer to green in colour.

Therefore, you'll find great success using a magenta Photo Filter to combat it.

Here is my quick play with the aforementioned magenta filter, and also a bit of dodging on a dodge and burn layer:

Interesting! I appreciate your feedback.  I've never used photo filter before.  If you have the PSD file

I would love to have a look.  Can you please explain your SOOR criteria?  I'm attaching the file w/ the

adjustments I made out of LR prepped for PS. Exposure, WB, Lens correction, camera calibration (2010 vivid).  I take the blacks down to 0 and

fill light to +20.  Default sharpening.  Let me know if this matches your SOOR.  I didn't crop!  It's as shot. 

Thanks!

Just to check, have you read the cropping tutorial?  You must never crop during editing.

Your SOOR, while not exactly ideal, is easily good enough.

Show me how you go with the filter and the dodging.

Thanks, I took a crack at it.  Am I on the right track? 

Thanks!

It's a good start, but there are some green areas remaining.  Particularly the shoulder.

Thanks for your help!  I'll keep at it.
