I just recently took a couple hundred photos of a little 9-year-old buddy of mine; these worked out so well that I didn't find a cull in the lot.
HOWEVER, she just happened to be wearing one of those see-for-twenty-miles hurt-your-eyes-to-look-at-it flourescent neon glow-in-the-daylight yellowish-green shirts; I am going to request that from now on she reserves that shirt for directing traffic or deer hunting or some similar endeavor.
The sun was blindingly bright that day.
In every last picture, that bilious bright shirt had cast a bright yellowish-green ring around her neck, just under her chin.
I have been tediously using a combination of Hue/Saturation adjustment layers and the clone tool, plus playing with various opacities, and have managed to alleviate most of the problem on a few of the photos.
However, this method is tedious and time consuming, and the technique has to be reinvented for each successive image.
Is there a better quicker way to fix this ?
In many of the photos, it looks like someone spray-painted her neck.
Thanks for reading.

BuckSkin, the technique described in the video below may be the quickest way to remove bleeding of color on skin from a bright piece of clothing.

Thanks, Sepiana; that is a bit different from one of the techniques I have been using and is a lot quicker/easier than what I had been doing. Another technique that I blundered upon (also not nearly so quick and easy) is to add a blank layer and fill it with a flesh color; set the blend mode to "color"; add a layer mask to this flesh layer; fill the mask with black so that the flesh layer disappears; then, using a white brush of varying opacities, paint away the offending color while feathering the edges of the repair. I am going to try the video trick on a few and let you know how I fare. If I had of known ahead of time that wild neon shirt was going to cause me so much extra work, I would have went to the Dollar Store and got her a less gaudy one to wear; I will know better from now on. When I showed my wife the pictures, she then showed me some she had taken of her nephews, both also wearing those loud neon shirts; her examples were worse than mine, as those kids entire heads were the same color as the shirts. Thanks. |

BuckSkin, the technique described in the video below may be the quickest way to remove bleeding of color on skin from a bright piece of clothing. Thanks again for having the solution to another of my perplexing problems; the method in the video is a lot quicker/simpler than any of the other methods that I have been trying and the results look just as good. |

BuckSkin, you are most welcome! Glad to hear your reaction to the technique described in that video. I myself find it quite effective. After the first few repairs following the video instructions, I found a way to make the technique even better. Instead of selecting a single color and then making the whole repair with that, I make frequent color changes. As I make progress along the affected area, the adjacent flesh tones gradually change with the changing shadows and light; so, with the "brush" selected, as the shades of color change, I hold "Alt", which changes the brush to an eyedropper/color-selector, and sample from the good area adjacent to the area being repaired. Then, (I have Elements +) I open the E+ tray menu and select Portraits > Skin Care; I then apply Edit > Fill Layer > Black to the Skin Care layer mask and then use a white brush to paint in the effect; done carefully, the slight blurring of the Skin Care layer blends the repair into the surrounding area and makes the repair almost invisible. I hope I explained that in a way that makes sense. |
