Photo was shot in raw on a 40D. Photo was a bit fuzzy due to slow shutter speed because of crappy light.
I first corrected the color in Adobe Bridge then imported it into photoshop.
I duplicated the layer twice for a total of 3 layers.
Top layer - Original set to lightened blending
Middle Layer - Highpass done at 70 pixels. (In the filter menu -> Other -> highpass) Then right click on the layer and select blending options, then set to soft light.
Bottom Layer - Original
I put a vector mask over the top two layers and painted the vector mask black to prevent anything from showing through. I then painted the two people in the middle layer with a light gray on the vector mask to make it semi transparent, but only on the people. With vector masks, black conceals, white reveals.
The top layer, I just painted the eyes with white on the vector mask to make them come through on top of everything else lightened up.
Once that was done, I flattened the image then used the clone tool set to about 40% opacity and the healing brush as well, to get rid of the bags under their eyes, touch up the faces a bit, and get rid of the distracting roots in the picture.
