goldbergbarry Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I took graduation pictures last night at my son's 8th grade graduation. I have a D90 with a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens. Normally this combination works great at low light conditions but for some reason, all of the pictures have a red hue around the eyes and mouth.</p> <p>I use LR 3. Can someone help by teaching me how to fix this in LR (assuming that it can be fixed). I shoot using JPEGs only (no Raw). I have a lot of pictures that need adjustment so if you can help me learn what adjustments to make, I would greatly appreciate it.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Barry</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preston_merchant Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 <p>In Lightroom, if you go down to the HSL area (hue, saturation and luminance) in the development module and move the RED slider to the right (increase), the red hue will disappear -- yes, I know I just said increase, but it will remove that strange redness. I just tried it myself. Do this in the HUE section of HSL.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 <p>I opened it in Adobe Camera Raw through Bridge, and it looks like the problem is basically far too warm a color temperature. Could the temperature have been set wrong some how?</p> <p>Here is is with the color temperature tuned way down and not much else altered.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjen van de merwe Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 <p>I would use Photoshop, make an adjustment layer with hue/saturation, and then go to reds and lower the saturation. If necesary you can refine the range that is affected, or make a layer mask to protect the areas that should not be altered.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
