Color Correction #2

For this assignment we had to color correct an image that we have taken over the past weekend. In this image my girlfriend’s mom is posing in front of a pair of vases and a nice painting with light shining on her from the outside. The image originally was too bright and had color problems (little saturation and it looked burned). I had to make the picture look normal by adding enough saturation in the highlights but not in the shadow parts. The most difficult part for this assignment was making the subject colorful with-out making her look too fake.
            I used levels, curves, and hue/saturation in order to control the balance of colors in the picture. The brightness/contrast of the image was then solving by using the so named adjustment. In the end I just finished it off with the color balance and the vibrance in order to make the picture very vivid.
