Hello and thanks in advance for your time and assistance!
I am repairing a color image created with color separation negatives, 3 black and white images (captured from negatives) combined in RGB channels to create a color image. The original negatives were very badly damaged, so alignment and correction has been quite complicated.
I am finally getting close, but there is still a lot of blotchiness that I am having trouble correcting, from where each of the channels may have been under/over exposed, creating splotchy yellow or magenta, etc. It might look subtle, but in the area I've shown in the photo, for example, the yellow blotchiness really stands out when I go to print.
How can I selectively modify this area!? Any other ideas for filters or way to single out this blotchiness to make adjustments? Traditional retouching with healing brush on all channels is really not helping the color balance, as it moves around the grain but remains splotchy... I also tried hue/saturation but I am not able to isolate the problem areas.
Have spent two weeks working on this image...need help...Thanks so much for any ideas!
