Kind of convoluted. If you have no grayscale you can always adjust images like this using memory color values. For instance we know skin tone to be a balanced magenta and yellow with cyan being 10-15% of that value. Obviously this image is too yellow, so the first thing to do is adjust the color balance in the highlights, mids and shadows. Adjust levels and screen a second photo over the first.

Can you tell me a bit about why you chose Saturation 100 and Value 60? I’ve been experimenting with the technique and found that leaving the color as is before inverting it, or inverting it first than adjusting S to 0 and V to 33, works nearly as well. I guess I’m saying I haven’t really found anything special about 100 and 60, and in many cases I can skip the adjustment and just go with a straight inversion overlay.

The resulting photo is definitely worth the few tweaks. It kept the normal
skin tone and got rid of the original yellow-ish color cast by the light.
Definitely a trick i’d love to master!
