p.1 #1 · I need help!! Can you help with your touch on these 2 family photos
So we had these photos taken yesterday and I like the first one but the 2nd one, I don't know what happened, it is all washed out. I am making these into a wedding gift TODAY
I can edit the first one but can anyone help with the 2nd one, I am having a hard time getting it the way I want.
Thanks in advance! That's me in the white shirt with the bald head

It looks hot - is that what you don't like? Did you shoot in RAW? Pull down the exposure and/or use the adjustment brush to tone down highlights on the white shirts and faces.
Send me the RAW in the next few minutes and I can try and help. PM me for email.

Sorry - I meant blown out in the highlights. In JPEG it will be tough to fix. But you seem more concerned about the noise. I can run a reduction on that if it will help you.

Like I said, the 1st one I can edit no problem, the 2nd one seems so was washed out and yes, the noise. I would like to make this presentable for a frame, 16X20 to present them as a gift tonight. I am not sure exactly how I want it, but just good for a frame to hang up. Sorry, I am trying to do this and a tux and 500 other things!!! lol

Jeff - someone already took a stab at processing this file (i.e., it's not the original). The file on your dropbox was 30 megs, which is overe 2 times the native size for that camera.
It has some painted in grain and blur. I can't really undo that in a jpeg file. Maybe someone else on here can.

The exposure is pretty easy to fix, do an open as camera raw in Photoshop and adjust like a RAW image. As for the noise, it looks like some bad in camera sharpening or something. The weird part is people and immediate areas around them are masked out from the noise, looks like it was done in photoshop.

Thank you Michael, looks much better

I guess she did do some editing in PS, that's sad if she did, I don't like the result in the 2nd one at all. I can adjust the noise and all, I guess I will do what I can with it, I know I can make it look a little better so well see. I really appreciate all of your time and input!

The second shot has selective blur. It's very poorly applied. The only thing you can do is completely matte out the people and composite them on a new background. It's a shame, because it has potential to be a nice shot.

I know and I am not a close friend to the photographer otherwise I would comment on it. I am hoping to get the original file, hopefully RAW so i can do some true post work.

Our friend shot it for us. It was hot, about 101. The second one she must have shot in Auto ISO cause its grainy, she shot in JPEG only
