Hi all,

In the photo below, on the models face - the side nearest the balloon there is a massive pink tint. I'm using Lightroom only, can someone please advice on to remove this? I have tried using the paintbrush tool and then selecting things like colour, saturation etc but to no gain... What do I need to be doing?!?! Many, Many Thanks!

Looks like a strong megenta cast there, but also it's lacking saturation because it's so dark. ork to make it brighter first, then push the megenta's towards green and the blues towards yellow. But you're very unlikely to get it perfect without some cloning/dodging/burning in PS
 
Couple of tips

Using the Adjustment Brush brush in some negative saturation.

Alternatively again using the Adjustment brush, choose a cyan colour and gently brush this in. don't worry if the colour isn't quite right as you can change it whist the brush is active to get a better match.

I'd also give yourself a reasonable feather so you get a reasonable graduation
 
This is the image have been playing around with today, practising with adjustment brush

Bought out some colour in the lips, played with the eyes, smoothed the skin a little etc.. I got a book by Scott Kilby, its very good.
