Default Help Color Correcting a Photo
I am working on a calendar for a contractor featuring photos of houses he has worked on. I was given photos of the houses, and most of them turned out okay, but this one was taken on a pretty cloudy day and the colors on the bricks came out very dull. I have tried just about everything I can think of to try to enhance it with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What software are you using?

Using GIMP or Photoshop, a simple Levels adjustment will help a lot. Also duplicate the layer and set it to Soft Light.

The sky is essentially a dead loss, and could really do with replacing with a better one. Pretty simple in either of the above packages and lots of tutorials available on Google, or ask here.

1 post and you come here wanting people to do your work for you lol. Honestly all it needs is a little contrast which is simple to do with any photo editing software.
