Lighting Fix

[turtleyamazing]

I'd like to have this photo framed, but need the weird lighting fixed, match the two sides up for a better print? Any help appreciated.

Well done!

That's awesome, thanks! Yes, this is the only copy that I have, it was taken years ago.

Awesome job colleague

Is there any chance you could explain how you did it?

FWIW, I took Colleague's very nice version and (I hope you don't mind) made some quick, very minor color and lighting tweaks. Not great, but maybe a little bit better on the woman's skin color.

Awesome job @colleague

I removed some colorcast with free nikfilter 'color effex'
then made a selection of the lightest part of the face and made a level adjustment layer
then used healing brush for the edges of the selection
and a layer on top for smaller color adjuments
