Too much red in her hair...

[SaraJane]

So I just took this photo:



Then did a levels adjustment to brighten it up a bit:



But it's made her hair look really red, how do I fix it?

Hi SaraJane

I bet you a little bit contrasted it also by bringing top levels slider down (darken) as well? Not only lightened up?

This is my try with Levels, Hue/Saturation adjustments.
And a little bit retouch. (please let me know if you want me to remove photo from my post)

[SaraJane]

lol, you removed the food from her face, was going to do that too but haven't been bothered yet. Thanks for you help.

Yeah I moved the darken one too, did you not do that? I tried the saturation thing but it made all the colours less vibrant. I'll give it another try!

[SaraJane]

ok, better?



the other one was a bit unrealistic with the colours wasn't it? Is this better?

[TwistedPixel]

Yes SaraJane,
The first one was something with the colours. Your last edit looks much better to me
