Here is my latest restoration with a color saturated family.  Comments and suggestions please.

Shujen, I have to get to work in a few minutes, so I don't have time to do a thorough check, but to me it looks great.  On my monitor the skin colors appear perfect.  Everything else looks just a bit dark, but  that may be the nature of the image - the dark clothing and the dark background. I'd say it's your usual stellar work.  Nice!

Hugs!

Very nice Shujen!
What about just a little more contrast (luminosity mode so yours colors stay the same)?

(edit:  after posting I cannot see much difference with your version Shujen!  )

That looks so great Shujen.
Hannie, what did you mean when you said ,"What about just a little more contrast (luminosity mode so your colors stay the same)?"   How do you do that? (Am I being a bug again? )

Mary,

Questions and comments are always welcome. 

Since it is Hannie's bedtime, I will try to answer it.  I increase contrast by using a curve layer.  Drag the curve at right quarter mark a little higher and at left quarter mark a little lower (make bright brighter and dark darker). 

Then change the layer blending mode from normal to luminosity so that colors don't change much.

Thanks Shujen.  You explained it perfectly.  (I forgot about the Amsterdam thing.)

I was just pretending to be asleep, hoping that Shujen would answer your question!
