<p>You can also use DaVinci Resolve.</p>

<p>First node: You can use a qualifier to get the basic outline of Dr. Manhattan (not the glow around him, but the darker blue parts).</p>

<p>Second node: You can feed one output from that first node through hue vs. hue to convert blue to yellow.</p>

<p>Third node: You can feed another output from the first node to a mask.</p>

<p>Fourth node: You can then then blur the mask (outside only, not inside and outside) and tint it to make your yellow glow.</p>

<p>Fifth node: you can use the mask of the 3rd node to select the output of the second node and composite that with the output of the fourth node to get a yellow body with a yellow glow, and no background.</p>

<p>Is it possible to take, for example, this video <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sNXohNU3tWo?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div> and somehow make dr. Manhattan's skin yellow/white? instead of blue? Is it possible to take out his figure/delete the surroundings? If yes, then how?</p>

Since there is *heavy animated glowing* around him going on, I don't think that this is possible (in this case).
