Best way to remove or disguise sweat on dark t-shirt?

Hi,

I have a 15 min talking head where the talent is standing square on to the camera, moving occasionally but on the whole relatively still. His navy blue t-shirt has a few sweat spots which get progressively worse throughout the clip (we're in the tropics).

What's the best way to disguise or remove them? I was thinking perhaps isolating the t-shirt and making the blue darker so the sweat patches are less obvious, but maybe there's another way or trick of the trade I don't know about. Any effects I should be considering?

Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to give impression I'm promoting Resolve...  I just don't have CC stuff... Instead of node you'd use probably an adjustment layer, and Lumetri controls... is basically the same thing but different UI and so on...

    I'm on fixed income and can't afford to pay for a subscription and don't like having someone with hand in my pocket ( nobody takes money out of my checking account automatically for ANYTHING.  It's just the way I am.

    Good luck !  I think Adobe stuff is great !

    The easiest way would be the Lumetri Curves tab, using Hue vs. Luma.

    Select the darker area, and lighten them some.

    Might take additional layers which is easy, just go to the drop down at top of Lumetri, click and add another instance/layer.

    went back into it... ( downloaded original image again ).. and using a combination of stuff ( curve hue v luma, qualifier (shrink grow etc. to narrow down sweat areas) and who knows what else I did... cause I was watching THE BLOB on TV while on laptop...and having a beer...

    But came up with this... would add yet another layer ( or node ) and do a final thing for skin tone and the overall blue shirt and those curtains in back...

    Thanks for this post, cause it forced me to learn stuff too !

    whoops.. I just enlarged the image and see the sweat areas are a bit overdone with adjustment... but it is getting real close...

    well, forget about hue v sat ... that didn't work for me.

    Jim's method is what I used … and it's getting there, but would take a bit of back and forth between various tools ...

    Didn't have time to keep messing around with it...but it can be done nicely...

    multiply mode is good at merging colors together. try that in combination with curves

    Hi Chris,

    Wouldn't that require me to mask the t-shirt and then track it? Because the shirt changes shape the mask would need to be Interrogated on almost every frame. The clip is 15 minutes long.

    maybe try curves hue v saturation … select the darker blue (sweat ) and drag the curve down a little.. and it should lighten it up to get close to matching rest of shirt ...

    In Resolve, I would qualify the shirt and play around a bit with Luma, Sat and Tint.
