PS - Dodged Areas Have Yellow Tinge

[Steve Margulis]

I was showing proofs to a client yesterday who was sitting to my side. From straight on, the images look fine. But the client pointed out that, from the side, there is a yellow tint to areas of the white seamless where I dodged out shadows in Photoshop. Please take a look at the image below (from an angle) and let me know if there is a way to fix this issue. Thanks.

If you did the dodging on a separate layer, you could try changing the blend mode to luminosity. If the layers are flattened you could create a duplicate layer and use the desaturate tool on the shadows that are dodged.

Jill,

Thanks for the info. This was driving me crazy. The yellow tint is much more visible on my laptop than on a desktop. But I started playing with buttons and found that clicking the "Protect Tones" checkbox on the dodge tool allowed me to dodge over the yellow areas. Now I have to go back to the PSD files and redodge. Thanks again for your suggestions.

I'll have to look for that "Protect Tones" function.

Protect Tones is new to CS4. I read somewhere that it's a good thing. But I just could not dodge my white to anything but a pale yellow with it enables. Now my whites are white.
