Is it me or is she green? I've tried a number of things but nothing seems to satisfy me and only makes it more difficult for me to see anything after messing around.

EDIT: I should mention this was shot over 2 years ago and natural window light bouncing off the bed is probably the culprit.

Looks a bit yellow, though the pillows in the background do have a hint of green.

yeah and not sure how to tone it down as yellow is the makeup of skin. Her lower legs are off color arrrgh.

Add a bit of red tint and increase the luminance of yellow and orange? On her legs, you may have to use a separate brush since the amount of colors and luminace will be different.

I think the white balance is off. I could be wrong but I think if you adjust the white balance it will take care of it. Just a suggestion as I very well could be wrong.

yeah, that's not it, well no simple adjustment takes care of it. I've looked at it warmer, cooler and with blue/red tint adjustments, this is as close as I could get it.

I like the photo itself, but she is a little greenish.
As for fixing it, that really isn't my area. But I do know how to fix it quick and easy, go black and white. It will not look good, but she will not be green any more.

Cute gal. If all else fails theres B&W.

 

[Trever1t]

going to try the suggestions. I did try B&W and didn't feel it.

 

[Trever1t]

Any better? Not much different?

I quickly added warmth and red tint and a touch of saturation and I think it did it justice.

still a touch green on the pillow behind her, I'd probaly spot edit them and adjust the WB on them directly.

 

[Trever1t]

Uhm, I'd really prefer you not post a retouched image please not that I don't appreciate the effort I don't want a bunch of other people's edits of my work on the internet

As for your go at it, on my screen it's glowing orange and over saturated.

whoops sorry, NOT OK to edit needs to be in Red or something.

I think this is just a case of bad mixed lighting. I'm assuming you used a strobe on her, but the bed is natural?

I don't remember but I thought it was all natural. Mixed from reflection off colored elements and red lighting in bedroom perhaps!

Next time shoot it with Portra 160 or 400
