Whats wrong with this color?

[pete1606]

I have Photoshop CS4 and Apeature 2. I been trying to correct the way the dress looks in this picture. The rest of the colors in the pic look fine. I tried using the doge burn tool to; adjust the saturation, I tried dodging it and I tried adjusting the contrast. Im not really sure what is wrong but it looks awful.

btw my monitors is color calbriated.
Thank You for your help.

I don't see your picture.

Nevermind, I see that you just added the links.

It looks like it's just over saturated. I would try to desaturate the reds and magentas a little. If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what to do.

Try a selective color adjustment layer. Work mainly in the magentas (+++ black levels, --- magenta) and a little in the reds (+ black, + cyan). It isn't an oversaturated image, because the rest of the image (what I can see of it) isn't oversaturated.

I think you may have pushed it too far... a destructive edit, but I was able to reduce the saturation, shift the hue and compensate a bit for the different lighting situation. -Shea
