news:YY0Ma.26$:
I had pretty good success by rebuilding the red channel using a bit of information from the blue channel. I copied the red channel over to a new document, then copied the blue channel as another layer on the same new document. Then I added a layer mask and used a gradient to blend the two. Finally I selected all, copy merged, then went back to the original document and pasted in the new red channel.
This only restored the detail, the colors are still off on the rightmost 1/3, so I added a hue/sat adjustment layer to make the skintones on the boy’s left arm look realistic, then used gradient again on the layer mask to blend the two. Afterwards I did some final fiddling with the hue/sat settings for a closer match.
