I seem to be having a similar problem over and over. My portraits have hot spots on the face - by the nose and cheeks, etc.
And there seems to be a pinkish/reddish glow to the picture that isn't right.
I use a Canon 30D.
I use Alien Bee Strobes with softboxes- with the main at 5.6, at a 45 degree angle and slightly feathered,
a fill near my camera at 2.8
A background light with a 30 grid at about 4.0 and a hairlight at about 2.8.
I have done a custom white balance with a gray card.
Questions
What can I do to prevent this color from being off?
What can I do to prevent the hotspots on the face?
Once I shot already, what can I do in Photoshop to fix the errors? Please feel free to play around with my pic in PS and let me know what you did!
Thanks,
