Hi guys,
I'm fairly new into photography, editing especially and I just wanted to see if any of you had any advice on improving a picture like the one below. I've been taking pictures a long time without ever thinking much of it but I recently dove in and bought a dSLR, which I'm beginning to understand. I have no experience whatsoever with digital editing though.
I was home last week and I took this picture of my parents. I like the photo quite a bit but it came out quite, I feel, dull and flat in color, especially the skin tones. It was a pretty bright day but they were in the shade. While not totally necessary, the shot had been taken at ISO 400 but I feel like my camera (Canon T4i with stock lens) should be able to handle that ISO without noise regardless.
So my first question then is, can anyone can explain why the color really dampened?
Also, in post-editing is there a way to compensate for this?
Thanks!! I totally appreciate whatever comments and suggestions you feel like providing.
