What I would do is use the Marquee tool to select the 'offending' shirt, and then use the Hue/Saturation adjustment mode to match the colors.

Real quick and dirty...

Select color range... select offending shirt

Create color burn layer (fill with white)

Select paint brush with deep red (almost black) color

Set brush tool to darken at about 20% opacity.

Color over shirt on your color burn layer...

done. Took about 10 seconds to do.

Down & Dirty!

Used pen tool to make the selection of the shirt. Then used curves (Green-Red-RGB) adjustments until the color matched.

Similar to

thegrandwazoo, I used magic wand to select the shirt then created a new layer from that selection. I tied a hue/sat layer to the new layer and played with sliders for a good match. (Selection was quick and sloppy.)

I think ill leave the pants alone... and just change the shirt... Kadi was that all you did was a Hue/Desat on that.... the more i look at it the more i like your color match =)?

Yup! I "only" have PSE 2...so no fancy stuff. Here's what I did:

To make the selection, choose magic wand and set to 25% tolerance with "contiguous" checked and + to selection. This gets the majority of the one pink shirt. Reduce tolerance and pick away until you get everything you should and nothing you shouldn't. (ctrl Z is my friend)

Selection > feather (for this resolution about 5 pixels...more for higher res.)

Layer > New > Layer via copy

Create Hue/Saturation layer above the new one and link it to the new layer so only that one is affected.

I think I increased Saturation, shifted the hue left and lowered the darkness slider.

Clean up "spill" on the selection by either erasing some of the new layer or paint out the effect on the hue/sat layer mask.

That's it. Quick and sweet. :)

Like I said it was down and dirty I was at work and took a whole 2 minutes to make the adjustment. I thought this was just to give you and idea on the technique. You're welcome by the way...

Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding "(Selection was quick and sloppy.)" was me referring to my own edit. If you check the post times you'll note that we were editing and uploading at about the same time...I just noticed as I was posting that your (thegrandwazoo) technique was roughly similar to the one I chose. I thought I should acknowledge the similarity.

Oh yes i understand.... i was just refering to the Color some matched but looked a little bright.... the thegrandwazoo was kinda a little dark... i was just saying that yours seem to match almost perfect.... the tone... and color...i just wanted to know what you did to create the color, besides the Hue/and desat if there was any other ways....
