(Model: Dawn Grove - Leighton Agency / Phoenix) Open the image and correct the levels in RGB Mode. Go to Layers and create a new Curves Adjustment Layer. Select the blue channel and lower the Highlight Point as shown. Add a mid point to create a gentle curve. This introduces a yellow cast into the highlights. Select the Green channel and lower the highlight point as well. (Not as much as the earlier graph). Use the Midpoint to balance to a gentle warm (peach) color. Select the Red channel and introduce a cast into the shadow areas. Keep the highlight point normal but increase density in the shadow quarter tones.
