Best way to reduce red channel in Lightroom ?

[mikeyw]

Hi,

I shot a couple of JPG images with my D90 recently that i'm really pleased with but the red channel is a bit blown, sadly no raw file so wondering what's the best way in lightroom to reduce the reds ?

Dropping the temp helps but just wondered what the professional processors would do to reduce reds ?

tia,
Mike.

Sure, you have a colour adjustment panel in the develop module, there you can adjust the saturation and luminance of the red channel.

Hope this helps

Doesn't Lightroom have a curves adjustment with seperate channels?

Nope.

Do as mh says and use the HSL tab and alter the saturation or luminance slider using the TAT tool on the colours that are blown. or use the camera calibration panel to alter the red saturation.

No it's a feature that has been requested quite a bit, maybe one day.....

That's a suprise, Aperture has.

And I believe capture one (although I don't use it)

Many thanks - could you elaborate on the TAT tool ?

Targeted ajustment tool on the hue/sat palette.

I know this is an old thread, but you can use camera calibration where you will get the RGB adjustment options.
