Makeover example three
Example three takes on the task of perfecting the color of an image, along with a slight brightness and contrast tweak.
Problem: Oftentimes, once an image's brightness has been improved, the contrast looks a bit flat, and so that too requires attention. But in this example, it's the color cast that's the most unflattering aspect of the image.
