Hey All,

Can i have some feedback on this please?


Baby Watching by Pisto1981, on Flickr

i found it hard to edit with so much pink

The pink colour cast is a definite stand out. There especially seems to be a 'hotspot' of pink on her face around her eyes and nose... The eye also appears to have been oversharpened, but maybe thats just me.
I gave it a quick crack at trying to reduce that pinkness:



Still not perfect, but better i think?

Basically i adjusted the colour balance with temp at -12 and tint at -38
then I did local adjustments with the brush tool and reduced that pink hotspot on the face by desaturating that area.
I also fiddled with the hues of red and orange trying to reduce the pinkness again. Red: +36, orange: -4 and yellow: -56 in hue.

Looking at it now, it looks like i gave it slightly too much orange, but oh well..

I think yours is a better picture. Thanks for your time.

I need to get to learn PS and LR a little more me thinks

The edit is fantastic. I have found with my very pale skinned child she turns all sorts of colors depending on her surroundings. Drives me nutty.

Great job on color correcting the image.
