Suggest that you post the picture here on the forum for us to look at. If there are facial features which you wish to respect, blur same for privacy.

To do that, click on the "insert photos" icon at the top of the reply box. You can not do it via an e-mail reply.

So, you can use the Manual mode of the Colorize photo tool to get a red color to the jacket.  Use the eye-dropper color picker to get a shade of red from somewhere on the face. Then in Expert Mode of the Photoshop Editor, use the Color Replacement tool to modify the hue and saturation.  There are some excellent video tutorials by 99jon that should help you with this task.  I'll try to find a link for you, but maybe John will come by to tell you himself.

OK.  Found the link to the tutorial.
