I will organize the layers, put some values & then I'll edit this post with a link to a pic of them.

hi vincelotus and welcome to RP.

to get rid of the overall tint on this image i used color balance. turn down the reds, turn up the greens a bit and balance out with the blues.

after that, i cloned, starting with the background and then working on the girl, herself. i also did a bit of airbrushing. all this was done on a separate, blank layer.

however, to fix the dress, i made a selection of the white portions of the dress, airbrushed to even things up and then brightened the whole just a bit. i then inverted the selection and added a paint fill to darken the background. this was to give some contrast between the dress and the background.

and that was pretty much it, or at least the major bits.

I don't know how well something like this works.

Concentrated on the colours using mostly 'Selective Colors' and 'Hue&Saturation' Adjustment Layers.
