Post by: Lynnya on June 27, 2017, 05:23:41 PM

Original:

Blue cast cranked up:

Cyan cranked up:

Green cranked:

Levels adjust - curves for blacks whites and neutrals-cranked down the blue-green and cyans a lot..Ended up with this..
Any help would be greatly appreciated :loveit:

Looking at it again.. I reduced the blue down all the way.. what do you think...

Hey Girl. No wisdom here. Just wanted to wish you good luck. Maybe you need a shrinker too!  :funny:
Seriously though, know you will do an excellent job!

Looking great Lyn. I ran the original through the Kodak digital ROC filter and got more colour depth in the surroundings etc.

Wow Tess.. that looks great.. I went to the plugin but it's too expensive for me right now.. spending all our money on fuel (travelling across country)..maybe I can replicate with vibrance and color balancing or something... :-\  I've finished the background (I think) now working on the bride's skin  :crazy:

I could be wrong but it looks like a floor rug behind the bride on her right?

Hey Girl, that Tess has some good eyes. On the carpet behind her the pattern is gone in the last one. Probably on an earlier layer?  ^-^

Very nice putting the pattern back on the rug Lynn! Looking at a little screen here ... not sure whether this matters. Is the last step missing from the stairs?  :P

You did an awesome job with this.  I know the bride is the focal point but the background brings it all back.
