Hi there, this is Unmesh and today I'm gonna share with you
how to remove the ugly green color cast that you usually see
in the shadows of portraits. The easiest way to do that is simply
creating a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer, and then
targeting those areas. To target that, select the hand right over
there, and simply click on the area that you want to target.
Now by default, it's going to choose reds. But in that red,
there's a little bit of that green that we need to fix. To
figure out what areas are we targeting, we need to take the
hue all the way to the right and the saturation all the way to
the right to just see and check which areas are being affected
to fine-tune the areas, we can use these range sliders. Now
to make it even easier for us just make the panel a little bit
longer. And you can make it shorter if you want to. And I'm
just going to scroll down to the range area. Now let's bring the
face under it so that you can see what's happening while we're
making these changes. So let's make the range very, very
narrow. Now by holding in the middle, just move the range and
stop at the place where it's affecting the area that you want
to target. So this is exactly the area that we wanted to
target. So now all we need to do is to fine-tune this, we want to
stop right over here. And here we want to make the transition
smoother. To make the transition smooth on one side, take both
the sliders that you see on one side apart. You see there are
two sliders here. So take that apart, and the more apart they
are, the smoother the transition would be. So this is the point
that you see where that particular selected color is
selected 100%. And this is the slider where it is 0%. So it
gradually goes from 100 to 0, ranging from this color right
here to the color at the very end. Makes sense now? So if you
do too much, the other areas would be selected as well. And
at the same time, if you keep them too close, the transition
would be very, very harsh. So be very careful. While you're
playing with these sliders. For the right hand side, no matter
how much we extend it, it's not affecting the image in a large
way. So let's give it a soft transition. Now bring back the
Hue and Saturation back to its original position by simply
double-clicking on where it says Hue and double-clicking on the
Saturation. Now all you need to do is to adjust it. So I feel
that the Hue needs to go a little bit to the left because
if we take it to the right, it's going to make it more greener.
So let's take it to the left I feel maybe minus eight is the
right color. But right now the saturation also kind of feels
like it's too much. So let's decrease that as well. Let's go
for something at about minus 24-ish. That looks all right.
Now on top of that, you can always go ahead and create a
Hue/Saturation adjustment layer or a Vibrance adjustment layer
and just increase the vibrance to bring a little more life in
the colors. So there you go. Let's take a look at the before
and after. So here is the before, see that green right
there? And here is the after. Now if you think we removed too
much green, you can always decrease the opacity that's up
to you, but this is how we do it. Also at the same time, there
might be some areas where you didn't want to remove the green
from. For those situations, simply select the mask, press
Ctrl or Command + I take the brush with white as the
foreground color with a soft round brush flow and opacity at
100. Just simply paint over the areas where you wanted to remove
the green from. That's it! Also from the hand. So there you go,
my friend. That's a technique that you can use to remove
almost any kind of color cast in Photoshop. I hope this video
