Good Morning:
I have taken a set of photos of my friend who is an artisan-blacksmith. I am really having a tough time developing with his beautiful-but-bald head as in the attached. I just can't seem to get the bright, shiny area toned down in a way that looks natural. I am using the brushes and tools to the best of my ability but falling short.
I have to really restrict any adjustment of color using color sliders because I am red-green color deficient and my use of color sliders usually ends up with results between hideous and laughable. Hence, mandatory use of the X-Rite Passport for me.
No flash was used.
Nikon D5500
Sigma 18-35, f/1.8 Art Lens
Fluorescent light.
WB and color corrected using X-Rite Passport
Thanks for any advice.
