How to hide/remove sunburn in CS4

I would make a selection of the skin and using an adjustment layer, either Hue and Saturation to de-saturate, or maybe Colour Balance to reduce the reds. Hue and Saturation would probably be best though.

Depends on how red they are. :lol:
 
The clue is in the colour :)

You can always take out some of the red. Try New Layer, hue/saturation and click on the red channel in the drop down menu. You should be able to change the colour of the red using hue and the level of it in the saturation slider.

Lots of other ways involving channels and masks but I'd try the easy way first ;)
 
I would suggest leaving the sunburn alone and having a good laugh and that person's expense - they deserve it :)
