Hello,
I'm just about done with my first image and I just want to make sure that I did everything up to par.
I am open to any suggestions if you feel something can be done better.
Thanks!
Anne

Hi Anne,
Congratulations on your first restore, it looks beautiful!
2 very minor picks: the girl's dress is of a lighter shade of blue and the the levels could have some more adjustment (RGB).
Great job!

Well I think you did a fine job. I placed samplers on her sweater and noticed that the blue values were less than the R&G. I applied a Color Balance Adjustment Layer /Midtones with the values of +12 for Cyan and Red; -7 for Magenta and Green; and +21 for yellow blue.
I felt that adjustment to the skin tones only might be beneficial. But hey, what you have done looks fine to me.
Good eyes! That was the stuff I needed. I lightened the dress a tad. The skin adjustments were a little more difficult. My monitor isn't calibrated but when I looked at the adjustments for the skin tones it seemed to be a bit too much. So I decided to mask everything but the skin, do the adjustment and lowered the opacity to 50% and it seemed to work from my end.
Thank you so much for your input! Can't wait for the next one: )

Thanks, Margie! Great job on the Weather Channel. Even though I've seen the video, I have the Weather Channel on in the background just in case it comes on. :)
