Hands are RED in Photos! How to get Skin Tone???
I have shot a lookbook for a designer, who chose the model. Now, retouching the images, I have noticed that towards the end of a look, the model's hands turned red. Guessing from standing and the blood filled her hands, giving her the saturated appearance. Her legs are also reddish, while her face, arms, neck and shoulders have a natural skin tone. I have tried to change the levels, using ACDSee Ultimate Pro 9, which is a rather new program for me... but if I reduce the red level, the hands turn just gray, as there seems to be no other color to be part of her hands, e.g. orange and yellow tones on her arms in addition to some red-levels. I want to change the hands before I submit the finished work... Can anybody help with some suggestions? Thanks!
