Hey Paul, thank you for this, working through it on some headshots at the moment. I have a question though, I’ve got stuck when you start using the brush tool to paint out the purple haze. Neither pen nor mouse are painting anything, and I’ve been through the settings for the brush at the top of your screen and can’t seem to work it out. Brush hardness is 100%, and I’m definitely working in the colour correction layer. Do you by any chance have any ideas?! Thank you in advance, Rachel x
