There are some bright spots on the heads of some soccer players that I need to get rid of. I'm not a master photo editor, but I have a basic understanding of the tools. I'd appreciate any help I get!

If you or someone else hasn't fixed it after I've got some sleep I will take a stab at it. Would do it now if it wasn't 4:30AM here

I think you're the only one who cares about helping me at this moment. Not sure what time it is for you right now, but it's 8:10 AM where I live.

I woke up like 10-15 minutes ago.
Been working on it[prntscr.com], have been able to lessen/remove most of the effect from the girl in the centre and the right. Currently working on the one on the left which is tricker becuase it's wildly different from the other two.
If unpleased in any way so far just say and I'll try fix it

I can tell the girl on the left will be very hard. Would you mind telling me what you are doing to fix it so I don't need to ask random people on the Internet to do all my photo editing for me?

Using a colour from the areas of thier face thats not the orange spots. Creating a new layer on top, smothering the orange part in the colour. Change the transparency of the layer to around 30-50%. Blur/Smudge the colour to cover all the parts of the orange and help it blend in with the rest of the face.
Most probably not the most effective/easy method but it works

That's what I was missing! I for some reason never thought about making it slightly transparent and blurred to blend it in. Thanks for taking the time to actually help me.

Yeah no problem.
Although I don't think I can do the one on the left and make it look natural, if I was to get the colour right it would loose all detail on it by overlapping so many layers. If I don't overlap so many layers the colour stays super orange

Yeah especially with that arm
If you haven't noticed the arm is doubled becuase from what I can tell she moved it when the photo was taken

I think she was moving her hair when I took it. She's not in any of my classes so I should be ok ;)
