Copy of the background layer with an adjustment level for layers that was "grouped with previous layer". I adjusted the levels for the subject alone. RGB 0, 1.00, 175. It helps to mask off the background first so that the effect of the changes are easier to see. Regardless, the background must be masked off anyway. In addition, I masked off the highlights on the arms and hair, so that they would not be brighter.
Second adjustment layer for levels that brings out the grass/dirt a little more - masked off the subject as well as the sky (so the sky wouldn't be completely white). RGB 15, 0.74, 207.
Finally, adjustment layer for hue/saturation - reds +2, yellows +13, greens +11, cyans +15, blues +20, magentas +14. (This might be unnecessary.) |
