overblown pople

nathgreco

Hi All,
Over the new years I was photographing my team while we did an outdoor event,

I was able to catch some photos of the wrestlers and fireworks at the same time, however these set of shots are quite important as I had people asking for copies directly after i took them
however the wrestlers are overblown by the lighting that happened to turn on as i took the shot
is their any way I can fix this set of photos?

I am a apature user and I have basic photoshop skills, if anyone knows a technique or a plugin that may help let me know.


Thanks

Did you shoot raw or jpg?

I don't know aperture but you might first fix the white balance then use layers to make the necessary adjustments to the subjects.

I use jpeg, I should have used Raw for this shot,

Thanks,
I'll give it a go

Select the athletes with the selection tool of your choice, and then copy them to a new layer with ctrl-J.

Turn on the Multiply blend mode in your Layer palette, and adjust the Layer slider to adjust to taste.
