WeddingParty in progress - calling all Fashionista's

[Atlantis]

I know there are still details that need some more work (getting more light in some shadowed faces and some blues left in darker area's), posting this wip is a moment of letting it rest before I can finish it and sent them home.

What I ask for this wip is some colouradvice from the fashionista's on this forum.

At some point the bride's dress seemed to be more pinkish than white (but I stayed with white for now), I think the bridesmaids wear something greenish-blueish and what I thought to be black suits looked more burgundy in a closer view.

I honestly thought this one "only" needed some colourcorrection and a little damage to be removed ...
But I discovered lots of blue haze in the darker areas, yellow stains on de bridesmaids dresses, etc.
On top of it all the yellowish lamplight that probably discoloured the original undamaged and aged photo.

Atlantis, Í really don't think there is anything to add to what you have done so far.  You have done an amazing job on the color correction!  I'm sure the original never looked this good.

:wnw:

Ok, warped sense of humor here... did the photographer really have to get the light behind the grooms head as he did.  It looks like a halo and........... well I'll leave it at that!    :halo:

Atlantis, that is simply an awesome color correction job. 

Mind telling us how you accomplished it?  I've been fooling around with it, attempting to match your technique and haven't even come close. 

And I gott'a get back to one of Margie's fix-em-uppers before I get declared AWOL ;)

You've done a great job on this one Atlantis. I get burgundy on the suits too.

[Atlantis]

I went back to this one several times, discovering more and more blue discolouring in esp. the darker area's but I think I covered them all now :



I discussed the colour of the greenish dresses with my oldest daughter and we agreed on the one showing now to be a probable choice in the era this wedding took place.

Oh, and Terry, I will share the "how" when I've recovered from the illness I seem to have picked up after some visits to "flu'ish" relatives yesterday (feeling quite dizzy now).

Atlantis, your restore looks absolutely beautiful!

Too bad you're not feeling well, I hope you'll get better soon!

bests wishes,
