[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 9170, member: 1061"] [ATTACH]881._xfImport[/ATTACH] You'd be surprised by how much you have to work with here. Overexposed images are easier to fix than underexposed ones because it's difficult to bring details out of the shadows. First, I think you need a tighter crop. The subject here is pretty obvious, and you've got a lot of empty space that isn't adding anything to the composition. As I see it, there are two ways to fix this image. You can: [LIST=1] [*]Enhance color (as I have above) to pull your subjects away from a drab background, or: [*]Enhance contrast and convert this to black and white. [/LIST] I think a B&W conversion would also look really nice. What I've done here is a little tone mapping and some simple curve editing along with a color blast using Topaz Adjust. I also cloned out that person in the background. [/QUOTE]
