Original studio frame of two models in a tie-dye top and a polka-dot dress against flat, unevenly lit grey — Drag anywhere on the image, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys, to compare before and after.

Project overview

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

Transformation details

A global lift would have washed out both printed garments, so the grey backdrop was evened and warmed on its own and 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 models, allowing for the warmer bounce the new backdrop gives rather than removing it.
Skin and stray hair got a light clean-up pass.
