The following was suggested to me:
I suggest if you want to learn photoshop layers, get everyone in your "background" thread to send you the PS file they used to create whatever they created - then you can "de-construct" the file and see what they did with the layers.
I think this is a great idea. Here is my email for those who want to help: maddie461@yahoo.com
Wow, you guys are great! Thanks tons!

Just a quick edit:
Single layer, white balance, level & shadow/highlight adjustments.
Then some tweaking in color balances, selective cyan levels, brightness
and contrast adjustments, more in selective yellow & red levels, back
to cyan again in selectives and contrast. |

Here's a take:
Edits:
- Quick Mask mode, use circular gradient to deselect person and items on table with a highly feathered mask
- Exit Quick Mask mode and bring down BG with curves
- Select>inverse, bring up subjects with curves, eliminate excessive red cast, increase contrast (s-curve)
- USM, R=0.3, Amt=150, Thresh=3 to sharpen
- USM with R=25, Amt=11, Thresh=0 for local contrast
- Gentle dodge or burn in a couple areas to suit taste (bibs, face, baskets on table, leftmost area of bright blue BG)
- Duplicate layer, gaussian blur to 3.5px, opacity to 31%
- Apply layer mask to blur layer, tone down blur on person
- Save

If this thread proves anything, it is that it requires a heck of a lot more time and effort to "fix" an image than it does to get the lighting right to start with. :) It may be argued that was not possible in this case, but this experience proves you want to try as hard as possible to get it right in the camera.
Btw, great work by all that worked on the picture. It is a nice candid portrait worth saving.
