I downloaded it with no problem, Kirk. Thank you.
I saw no problem with the color space: It was sRGB through and true ;-)
However, on my (calibrated) monitor the girl's skin is about 1/3rd to 1/2 stop too dark. This is confirmed by the histogram.
It it is too orange for my taste -- definitely not pink, which is what you said you see on your monitor. What I see on my monitor sounds a lot like how you described the print in a previous posting in this thread.
That being said, many pro wedding photographers give all their photos the warm / orange look that you currently have achieved and would probably love the colors in this file. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I should say that if I'm being serious about a portrait, I go for much more neutral / less exaggerated colors that the always-warm-it-up photographers can't stand.
I also should add that since I have never seen this girl in person, I really have no idea of her true skin colors, so, the truth be told, I'm at best guessing at them. However, the color of the wood, whites in the fabric of her top, and knowing other girls of that age who probably have a similarly fair complexion, etc. all give useful clues as to how she should appear in a photo.
The first attachment below shows the image as it appears at the top of your layer stack - ie as you sent it to me.
My first level of correction was to apply a vibrance/sat adjustment layer with the vibrance turned down slightly. Next, I applied a selective color adjustment layer with the cyan slider for the reds pushed up a few points (relative). Finally, I applied a brightness / contrast layer to add a bit more punch. The result of these three adjustment layers is shown in the 2nd attachment (... I hope these come out in the correct order when I add them to this post...). I'm calling all of these my 1st level of correction.
I wasn't terribly happy using something as simple as a brightness/contrast adjustment layer to add punch, so my next level of correction was to use Topaz "Details" on the above. This allows me to perform several different modifications in one step. For example, I felt it needed both a touch of large radius USM + some selective brightening of the skin tones + just a little bit of conventional sharpening. I can do all of these in one step with Topaz Details, so I tend to use it in situations like this.
The result is the last attachment. It may be too cool and insufficiently saturated for some tastes, but you may want to get a little print made and see how it looks when printed.
Gotta run,
Tom
