I duplicated the layer, drained all the saturation and luminance from the blue, added a black mask and painted back the black jacket. The highlights remain so as not to destroy the materials inherent reflective qualities. I'm sure the gurus here will have better solutions.

I did no other retouching.

Used Select/Colour Range to select the shiny areas, refined the selection with quick mask and saved the selection to an alpha channel; activated the alpha channel and copied the selection to a new layer, changed the mode of this layer to multiply mode and blended in with the healing brush and clone tool; paint in colour mode to even the colour of the jacket; selective sharpening.

girlfriend yet.

I use Corel, but if it is just the Cyan highlights you are referring to, just select the area and remove cyan. I finished with Perfectly Clear default.

I first used the Quick selection tool to select the coat. With the selection active, I created a Black and White adjustment layer with the mode set to Luminosity. I pulled the Cyan and Blue sliders all the way to the left. I then entered Layer Styles and pulled the right half of the Underlying Layer shadow slider to the right until the over-darkened areas were removed.

Finally, with the coat selected again, I created a Solid Color adjustment layer with the mode set to Color. I sampled a color from the coat.

I did not use the healing tool nor the clone tool but those tools could be used to improve the results even more.

Tried to reduce shine to subtle highlights to maintain folds in jacket. Reduce blue in jacket highlights while maintaining skin tones and background color and tonality.

Lot of talent out here, to be sure. I wanted to see if this could be done in PS Elements. Not as sophisticated as some, but pretty quick and easy:

*Select jacket.

*Desaturate blues.

*Using paint bucket tool (darken mode), low opacity, sample parts of jacket and fill. Repeat to taste.

Great job with PSE. I think we forget how good it really can be.
