Hi gang..

hmmm.. just started on this baby.. seems no matter how I correct she looks orange to me.. could do with a Hannie fix here...Please excuse messy background.. work in progress...

She's an impish little cutie. What have you tried so far for the color correction?

Lynnya · May 06, 2017, 01:57:56 PM

Hi shadow.. everything.. levels curves black and white points.. you name it.. have at it if you have a min..

On this one.. I sat and looked at it and then added a blank layer.. filled it with white changed the blend mode to soft light and added a little color to the cheeks (Hannie sitting on my shoulder).. what do you think... I reckon there's something phoohy with the dyes or chemicals myself...

oh and color balance...personally... I like this version.. looks more like baby skin to me..need input

Thanks Margie and Hannie... I don't know what made me put a white fill layer on top.. to try to tone it down I spose then I started to play with blend modes and thought soft light looked pretty good.. have to remember that...

I'll keep at it then :cool:

Great job Lynn!
Depending how large the photo is wether it will show up in print, there is some damage left on baby's chin.

At the end of a restore I zoom in close for a final check over. I always find it surprising that while working for days I still manage to overlook damage. :mad:

Even when I think I've given it a good once over, after I post it on here there is undoubtedly something that stands out. Nice to have everyone's eyes :wow: double checking.

Lynnya · May 09, 2017, 01:58:12 PM

Thanks Hannie... I'll check that and resend it in.. appreciate all eyes.. :hug:

Yes there was.. I'm not sure if it would have shown it was a 4x5 but there's no way I'd want an image to go home with fixable damage.. that's why I love this forum.. I'm sure in the past (knowing me) I've sent in loads of images still with damage that could have been fixed.. I did fix it and resent it in to Bambi. :up:
