Can anyone help me remove this color cast?

[sdiva1982]

Ok so I have two pictures here from a dance recital where there is a purple color cast on hair and skin. I've tried messing with the hue/saturation and I just can't get the hair right. Can someone help? I would really appreciate any guidance!

Try again HSL

You do realise that the 'cast' is actually the theatrical lighting not an abberation? .

If you do want to remove colour then you could try using HSL again and either select the hair colour placing the dropper in the hair region and moving the hand tool to desat. first Magenta and then Blue you will also need a mask to bring back the clothing colour after applying Blue reduction.

You should do this as one HSL layer I have made two to make it a little easier to follow? - wait a few seconds for the image to change

EDIT: Chillin is faster than me

De-saturating Reds some and Magentas more so seems to do a nice job.

Here is use color brush on hair
Make B&W and use it as a overlay on top of the color picture.
