Hey, This is what happens when colors simply don't blend. post processing to the rescue. This my favorite is from a session earlier today. Let me know what do you think???

Hmmm, guess I'm the odd one out. I actually prefer the "before", but then again I'm not really one to care about things being all matchy w/kids.

i think if you woulda applied the same PP minus the color changes, i woulda liked it better. but as to for the PP... great job. never woulda known she wasn't wearning brown.

I like it, but I think I would have liked it better if Instead of brown it was the green of her hat. Either way, I think it was the right decision to adjust the color.

Yeah, actually I would need to try to keep the green tones of her hat. Thanks for all the comments and feedback. Take care.

Hi for those who asked the workprocess. It was simple:

1) I created Hue/Sat layer, I clicked the colorize checkbox (H: 26 S:25 L:0) (This gave me brown for clothes as well as hat) (100% opacity) (skin was afected)
2) With soft brush painted original skin to remove the effect of the hue/sat layer
3)Add another Hue/Sat layer for overall tonality (H:30 S:25 L: 0) (70% opacity) (blend mode soft light)
4) Selected around eyes with any tool and copy paste eyes as new layer (blend mode: screen), with an eraser at 65% erase outside the white part of the eye until it look ok, Also control overall opacity to taste) (This step will enhance white part and iris)
5) Do a final levels adjustment to boost contrast.
6) Sharpen accordingly

That was it. Hope it helps!
