| I was hired to do some portrait work for the city and the city manager has a very red nose. (Hmmm...wonder where he got that...) Anyway, I'd like to reduce that a little. Any ideas on how to do that without making him look too pale and generally washed out? I've played with the Reds in Selective Color but dropping the red value washes him out really bad. Thanks for your help! |

Perhaps use the spounge tool on just the rosy red nose to desaturate it just a bit.

maybe try using the sponge tool/disaturate. Just my thought...maybe somebody else has a better way?

| Does PS 7.0 have a sponge tool? If so, where is it located? |

| If you cant get it to look good by sponge tool or using selective desat(by using a layer mask) you could always convert it to B&W |

Same spot where the dodge and burn tools are at (just hold down whatever is showing to get the fly out menu).

Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer with a layer mask. Use a broadly feathered selection of the nose, and reduce saturation on the reds. Play with the saturation and tweak the mask to optimize. Fast, easy, and doesn't mess with detail.

| use selective color and choose the red channel then add white (I think it's black actually) so add a couple notches 1-6% this always works very well for me. you might have to make a selection with a very large feather radius first |
