Project overview

The backdrop is grey, unevenly lit and slightly darker on one side. The two printed garments are the frame's colour, and a global lift tends to wash them out.

Transformation details

The backdrop was evened and warmed on its own, so the lift never reached the clothing.
The prints were protected and their saturation held while the surrounding tones came up.
Skin was corrected toward neutral on both subjects, with the warmer backdrop bouncing into them accounted for rather than removed.
A light clean-up pass on skin and stray hair.
