How do I get rid of the blue?

[Rob4bama]

I really like this picture so I want to salvage it. To my eyes, I see some blue around the facemask. There may be nothing I can do and it may just be how it was taken but its just too bright and bluish. Is there anything I can do? I have the RAW file and CS5. Thanks for any help.

Open the raw file in ACR and find the tab icon that looks like a lens diagram -- should say Lens Correction. Click that icon and you can remove the Chromatic Aberration (the blue).

There are several methods of effectively dealing with CA, which is what this is. It can be done in lightroom, photoshop, camera raw, and other software programs. Just Google how to remove CA from a photo. You'll find lots of tutorials, including on Youtube.

The white balance also needs a correction.

Do a google search for correcting chromatic aberration. There's many techniques that will fix it even if photoshop can't for some reason.
