This is one of the shot i took recently with the CPL on. As a result of that, I get these funky purplish hair colours for some of my photos. Is there a way in PS to fix it? or make it less obvious? Would appreciate it if anyone could help me out on this.
Thank you in advance :rasta:

You shouldn't take pictures of people with CPL, will give weird effects and also make their skin look flat as skin does naturally give some polarized reflections.

PS > Select > All
Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation > Edit > Blues & Magenta (Saturation : -100)
Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation > Edit > Master (Saturation : 40)
Image > Adjustments > Levels > (R : 40)

1. Carefully select the wrong color casted on these 3 areas (yellow rectangular).
2. Narrow down the selected color bandwidth as much as possible.
3. Adjust the selected color 'lightness' to -80.
4. Saved as quality '9' jpeg.
*Done by using Hue/Saturation via Adobe Elements3.

I'll keep that in mind. Should've known better. Lucky I was using my other lense which didn't have the CPL on so not all my photos affected. Bad mistake .:redface:

Nice. Hair got fixed but somehow as a result there's something about the photo that looked not right to me. I never got near to fixing anything while trying. Anyway, thank you :rasta:

Not sure if u'll like it. Here lemme share with u my quick way of fixing this using photoshop cs2--> duplicate layer (i'll always do when i edit pix)--> image--> adjustments--> replace color--> select/click at the color on your pix that u wanna edit (i.e. the blueish/purplish hair) then adjust the saturation to -100 and lightness to -50--> ok--> DONE :)
