portrait backdrops.

Hi all, just wondered how people edit there backrounds, ie when using a white backround sometimes i get a colour cast from the peoples clothes, how can this be delt with also the best way of brighting it back to white and brighter without adjusting the rest of the image.

thanks in advance.

Hi Scott
I do it the simple way in CS5. With a white BG all i do is use the dodge tool and set it to around 5-9% to dodge the highlights around the subject usually works fine for me.
Check out a couple on my site here,

I'm by no means a professional photographer so what you see is what you get

Do the same with the burn tool (midtones or shadows) or black paintbrush using a mask so you can easily backtrack if necessary.

Hi Vince, love your work on your website, do you use a one, two or three light setup?

Hi Guys - can this be achieved in Lightroom ?
