    I took this last weekend, one of this daughter and one of my other daughter. The one of the other daughter came out perfect, very little PP. This one is green. I have played and played with the greens, but still nothing

    This was my first edit and I had it printed but I didn't realize how green it was until i saw the print

    This is my latest try at some PP on it, still looks very green

    Here is the one of my other daughter that has very little PP. I love it

    I just had a quick play in photoshop (with the first image posted).

    From memory you are using photoshop cs6. If so, have a try at this and see what you think

    Create up a new "color balance" layer

    adjust the sliders as follows:
    cyan/red -20
    magenta/green -15
    yellow/blue +23

    this was just a quick play I had, but work it to your taste.

    Lets know how you go.
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I have no clue about cs6 (even tho I have it), so i did it in GIMP and then did a little adjustment in Lightroom. I like it!!!

    If you like it that is all that matters, but on my monitor it now looks just a little bit pink. (sorry to do this to you, but I would prefer to call it as I see it). Others may disagree

    I'm with Runmonty on this one, looks prett pink to me too. I much prefer the original. Any chance the green cast is a result of the printing an not the original file?

    I am looking at it on my iPad, it is very pink. Back to the drawing boards
