[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 481315, member: 23887"] Don't remember every step, it was a few iterations, but roughly speaking: - I used Photoshop CC and Nik tools. - I cropped the image. - I corrected the white balance in Camera Raw filter, picking white from the unwrapped thing (paper?) the lady is holding in her left hand - In Viveza -- selected the background on the right, reduced red channel, desaturated slightly and darkened -- selected wall behind the sofa and darkened it, desaturated slightly -- selected girl's face, brightened it, warmed it up a little (it looked greenish) -- selected woman's arm, darkened very slightly to tone down flash reflections - In Color Efex Pro, used the Glamor Glow and Dynamic Skin softener filters: this helped with skin tones a bit more - Applied Sharpener Pro and Define to remove excessive noise I think this is more or less it. After every step I was looking for more things to correct. I think skin tones can be further improved, and when I look at it again, the girl's face is still a touch too dark. [/QUOTE]
