Another Simple Suggestion in the form of Simple Steps:
1. Take the image and eliminate the \"frame\" put around it.
2. Select the crop tool and crop keeping all of the image except the area just below the skirt hems.
3. Open New Adjustment Layer/Levels
4. Select the \"highlight\" eyedropper on the levels dialog box and click to the left of the taller girl (close but not in the shadow).
5. PRESTO! The white balance is improved and the figures POP!
I like simple solutions.
Now at this point only you can tell if their skin tone is \"accurate\" but I believe you will see a remarkable improvement over the image posted above if you follow these steps exactly and without doing anything else.
P.S. You will not get the same results if you pick \"auto color\" or \"auto levels\" method instead.
Now, I hope you will help me too.
I believe if help each other, the world would be a much nicer place...and so would this forum.
I have a Global Project underway and could use another comment from your part of the world. I would like your Impressions on any of my work as described in the following link. Follow this link to learn more about my Global Impressions Project and how a few words from you can help. http://steadmanuhlich.com/globalforum/global_impressions.htm
I am not asking for an image \'critique.\' Instead, I am asking for your \"Impressions\" or how any image affects you or moves you or what you see in the facial expressions in the image. You don\'t need to comment on anything technical as I am more interested in how you respond to the emotions, expressions, and \'art\' rather than the technical side of photographs I have posted 62 Impressions threads/images here on this forum, so there are plenty of images to choose from. Just view one or a few until you find one you like for some reason. Then post a simple few sentences as your impression. To find my Impressions threads, simply type \"Your Impression\" in the \"search\" field or box on the main page of this People Forum.
