re: How can I darken skin highlights only in PS? -reply



The skin is't blown out, only 20 points or so above the rest of the skin.  It too much of a range and looks like a blasted by flash image, which it was.  I hadn't tried many copies of multiply, it affected the rest of the image more than the skin, perhaps I will have to try a soft edged mask to limit the area.  OR would the blending options provide a better control?  Would this require grouping the multply layers so that the orignal layer is the one the blending controls look to?

Hmmm..  another sticky one..
