Color Correction

[philbach]

I've just started on this photo.  So my first step is to correct the color.  With the original photo I did three things.  First I used a curves adjustment layer and moved the black point from 0 to 35.  Next I placed the gray eyedropper on the middle of the refrigerator door.  Finally I used a HSL adjustment layer to decrease the saturation slightly. 

Some of the whites on the subjects still have a yellow cast on them.  But I was wondering if you have any thoughts on what further color adjustments should be made before I travel on.  Thanks.

Hi Phil,

This one is hard to color correct.  The there is no blue/cyan in the color of the skin so it needs to bed added.
First I did the basic levels adjustment, (the white, gray or black dropper didn't give good results.)
I used a selective color adjustment layer to adjust the colors separately.
In the Reds and magentas, I added cyan, yellow and lessened the magenta. 
The Whites needed less yellow.

Hopes this will help some!
