Continuing from above...

... In Attachment 1 you can see my colour correction on the inside of the glass using this method .... A bit overdone, but I wanted the difference to be very clear .... I used this method to correct the discolorations on faces, hair, jacket etc. as well...

For this example I used a Brush Opacity of 60%, but, usually, I start with 25/30% Opacity and gradually add/correct the colour with different passes...

6) After the colour correction, I run the picture through Neat Image to minimize the remaining noise ... (Attachment 2)

... and in Attachment 3 you can see the before and after ... the spots, colour or otherwise are gone, the skin is nice and smooth, and no loss of definition...

No hidden Color Balance Adjustment Layers at all... Once open, the Color Balance Adjustment Layer allows you to correct midtones, shadows, and highlights in one go... meaning, after correcting the midtones, do not click OK, but, still in the same Color Balance Adjustment Layer, simply click on the radio button on the left of 'Highlights' and correct them ... repeat the procedure with the 'Shadows' and only then click OK!! = 1 single Color Balance Adjustment Layer for colour corrections in all the different areas of your image... (Attachment 4)

Depending on the colours you want to correct, you might have to tweak either only CYAN-RED or MAGENTA-GREEN or YELLOW-BLUE in either only midtones or shadows or highlights .... but sometimes, like in this picture, I tweaked all the ranges in all 3 areas ... and, as I explained in the previous point, you can do it all in one single go!

Hope this helps..

Hi Gerald.

I remember doing lots of these. They were very popular in the seventies. We usually did them on Cibachrome paper by combining two slides. They were quite tricky to do but were very popular with a bride and groom.

Great job everyone, and great explanation Flora

I tried a different way; I Did use the Red channel.

Rotated to straighten
Image > Apply Image to replace blue channel with Red
Hue/Sat to correct colours
Degrunged the faces
Added back the missing glass rim
Duplicated layer set to overlay (Selective)
Blank Layers set to
Sharpened (Selective)
