[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 344511, member: 9240"] How's this? I was working with what I was given. ;) [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]107386._xfImport[/ATTACH] Wasn't sure how much of the warmth you wanted to keep. This is what I'd consider a "natural" look. Process was essentially finding a good neutral point using the Levels adjustment in Photoshop, then I played a little bit with the Color Balance to add back a little warmth. I then used a Tonal Contrast filter from Nik Color Efex 4 to balance the backlighting. I could go a lot of places with the shade of warmth/coolness from here, and there's still work to be done to bring out shadows and burn in some areas, but I think the skin saturation is where it should be.
