It seems that the film was overexposed. We have to brighten it
up and adjust color.
2. Create an adjustment layer Levels.
3. First, let's fix the levels for RGB
(composite) channel. On the histogram graph you notice some lack
of highlights. Move "light" Input Levels
slider to brighten the highlight areas
(movie).
4. As you can see, there is too much cyan (equal
to "not enough red") color in the image. To reduce cyans
select Channel: Red and move "light"
Input slider to add some reds (movie). Then slightly
pull the "dark" Output slider to reduce
cyans
.5. Now you may notice a certain magenta
slope. Select Channel: Green. Move Input
Levels sliders to remove any hues from the neutral colors
(sidewalk, bride's dress, etc.).
6. Select the Blue channel and
slightly decrease blue (increase yellow).
7. Select the RGB channel again
and fine-tune the composite image tone.
