| When adding a thumbnail, just click the thumbnail icon (the icon furthest to the right) and add ONLY the image number (in this case, 223064). Viola! |

Curves to color correct (select midtone)
Shadow/Highlight to bring out detail in the hair
Boost sat on trees and sky, correct skin tones a little |

| One thing that I have learned is; go into levels and press alt and drag the darkest part of the levels to where you can barely see here eyes comming in. (You'll know what I mean when you do this) I have just started playing with PS so that all I can give you. Sorry. |

The "colour corrected" version you have posted has a very, very strong red colour cast on my monitor (which is pretty well calibrated I believe).

Oops. Too much saturation? |

| Might have been a colorspace problem. Someone check it now. |

How's this?
Very small edits:....
sharpen 50% r=1 or 2
slight lighten
variations add red and yellow, by 5 each (repeated)
selected background and used softing blur (repeated)
selected some areas of skin and again used softening blur to mattify and soften |

This is looking pretty well, although I see areas around her mouth that may need blurring too.
I agree with everyone about the other one looking red.
I like the way the highlights in her hair are coming out.
Is the light on her right cheek bothering anyone( or was it before I pointed it out?) |

This is getting there, I think it's a little too harsh for a portait still.

Animated so you cna see the changes easier.
I know i did a lot which probably was not needed. but i tried to make it look the best I could. Too over the top?

Kirbic,
You're take seems to have the most natural skin tone to me. Care to share steps you took?
Rusch, I didn't get the animation, it didn't come through.
Johndavid, oh, come on.... LOL, your model is pretty, but she has serious neck problems.. she should see a doc. |

I just finished putting the details on the pic :-)
I adjusted the skin tones using curves. My goal was to retain the look of the late light while avoiding oversaturationof the reds. I think I did actually use a tiny tweak of hue/sat to slightly reduce saturation of reds as well, now that I think of it.
I'm actually amazed that it came out well, I edited it on my laptop, usually a prescription for disaster!

This is my very quick attempt.
Auto levels/contrast/colour
Brightness/Contrast adjustment
Adjust curves/history brush, highlight eyes
Burned the background |
