Dining room table ... office ... wherever you are ... we're glad you're here  ^-^
The correction looked a bit washed out so I tried a couple different points and it came out warmer. Probably not supposed to use this, but I found the bright spot/highlight just above rt eye (looking at screen) a good white point. See what you think and then do what you know is best.  ;)  PB isn't uploading and don't see PI either so ... I used the left leg of ladder for gray pt - did Levels Gray Dropper on this point. Then added Curves Layer and used Shadow on inside "v" of ladder/shirt for black point, gray point remained the same and used spot above/right of right eye for highlights. Used 244/ 142 / 15 for settings. Sorry can't show you the screenshot.  :(   Good luck. Know you'll work wonders with it!

Thanks Lyn.. I think I'll wait til I get back to my computer before I tackle this one.. this screen is too crappy.  Thanks for taking the time, I'll try you suggestions when I get off the dining room table  :funny:

Hi Lynn,

Sure would hate to have to travel far these days, hope you are feeling better! 

Your colors look right to me, not too bright or anything.  Must be hard working with just a mouse.

Yes Lyn, I think it is hair.  On the right side of his head the volume of is hair should come in some?

One way I use sometimes to tone down the reds is with a Selective Color adjustment layer.  In the red tab move the blue slightly to the right until your red looks less bright.
