What can I do to make this image better? The church made everything very yellow, and I have reset the wb as best as I can (being new to lightroom). Please if you can show me what you can do to it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

It looks OOF to me, it be able to color corrected, but nothing can fix the softness. Can you post a link to a full-res?

Looks very very soft, almost out of focus. Also, the 'save highlight' has been overused, as their faces have gone funny colours.

Opps posted the wrong photo. I needed help with this one, that first one is pretty much not saveable.

My attempt via Lightroom:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/png'


WB is easier to adjust in RAW of course.

My attempt using ACR. White balance correction, a little fill light, contrast boost, and decrease the exposure a little.

I did a quick levels adjustment in PSCS, applied a slight USM sharpening, and then applied a Cooling Filter 82 @30% (found under Image Adjustments-Photo Filters).

I had a try too.
Initially coverted to LAB colour and adjusted Curves until I got these colours.
Adjusted Hue/Sat in RGB.
Applied a slight USM.

Getting good formals takes practice and creativity. Too bad he did not have a step ladder when he took this formal.

It actually started pouring about 3 minutes before the formals, as I had a wonderful spot picked out for outside formals. They were on a tight, TIGHT schedule, so we improvised.


Yeah, I have gear too....
