change skin tones and sweater

[bob733]

Hi,
I had such great response to a noise filter problem (thanks again Michael)
that I thought I would try to get help on the next problem I am having.

I scanned in a picture (200dpi) and the fore arrn of the subject is white
white white. I wanted to make it look more natural and am having the devils
own time doing it. I have tried several techniques that I read and watched but
nothing works really well.

Also, I tried to change the gray sweater to green using verious techniques
(hue/saturation, collor fill, color replacemnt) but once again, the solution is
JUST beyound my grasp.

If someone could point me to guidelines as how to correct these two issues, I
am sure I would learn yet one more technique in the bag of tricks.

I put the picture up on pixcentral as

Thanks in advance and I will look first thing in the am for any help (unless I
wake up at 3am and cant wait).

Bob

Too much light is hitting the image?

Bad lighting in the original.

Use the "Recovery" Slider in CS3/ ACR4 to try to recover highlight detail.

Sorry. I was using CS3 and thought it was ok to post here. I have posted it in the other forum.
