jen,
i dont think it's going to look right. on my monitor, i see a lot of very dark in the pants and left skirt and a lot of very light up top. there's also quite a bit of grain showing in places, especially on the faces.
i gave this one a shot also. it turned out to be a lot trickier than i would have imagined. i ran all the standard adjustments with curves, levels, contrast/brightness but it still wouldnt correct right.
so, i made a mask over that bright blown out area on the left, the house part, and darkened it on a gradient.
i ran the whole image thru neat image, but that didnt clean it up enough.
i ran selections on the dark skirt and dark pants and used a median filter on both to clean these.
i ran one very light salt and pepper filter on the whole image
i ran another very light median on the whole.
i then ran the whole image thru the 'one step photo fix' of
psp 9. this finally got the levels and contrasts better.
i did some other minor cleanup with push, clone, and smudge in various small areas.
very deceptive image, this one.
Craig
edit: and i still dont really like it
