Colored and even picture

[UglyEarl]

Hi guys! I just need your help restoring the picture. Can we make this colored and make it even? I've edited the guy on the far right. I just want it to become realistic and don't look edited. Appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I'm not going to colour this. However, you can achieve a lot with a few simple contrast adjustments using levels layers, bringing in the blacks and whites and adjusting mid-tones for brightness. On this example, I did an all over levels adjustment, and then made another one, added a black mask and painted in more adjustments with a low opacity soft brush.

Thank you so much, Tony! I appreciate your help!

In my opinioln it's a hard one not look edited, there is a an evident difference on quality and light betwwen the two images.

I tried to match the quality and adjust the light but it's almost imposible to made it perfect.



Cheers!
