Hi all,

In this post should be a picture that I took of some friends of mine. I have edited the CR2 file and what you are seeing is the jpeg final edit.

When I first took the picture I used a set of lights and I will be honest I had no idea how to use them properly so as for exposure etc I ended up with lots of harsh light, a nightmare to edit in lightroom4.

However, the reason I have posted this. In the picture is a male who unfortunately died of cancer last Tuesday. The work colleagues of the female in the picture want to have this picture blown up A3 tomorrow ready to put into a frame.

Can I have your thoughts on the picture having been edited. Would you do anything different and if so please have a bash by all means. I also have the original Cr2 if required.

This has to be done to its best by tomorrow morning 10am ish as I will go to get it printed 16x9 ish.

My only issue I found was with the colour temperature as I kept making them look too black, other option was too yellow and neither looked right. I think I managed to get it right. Please take a look and as above if you think you could make it look much better then let me know.

Hi, on iPad, but can't see an photograph??
 
the skin tone looks great on my monitor too
however, you honestly won't know until you have it printed out
some printers tend to print darker so ask your printer or get them to fine tune the calibration themselves if they can
the white-balance looks fine for me, no strange colour casts at all
Sorry to hear about your friend :(
 
Thanks for your replies. I will ask them to check the colour tone tomorrow
