I have a high-resolution horizontal family group photo for a printed holiday card. Harsh overhead lighting created uneven shadows across all six faces—especially around the eyes and noses—and broad shadow bands across the clothing and legs from approximately waist/knee level downward. It would be great to balance each person individually, gently lightening and blending these areas while preserving natural facial contours, skin texture, fabric patterns, folds, and realistic grounding shadows, and correct the mixed yellow/green and blue lighting for consistent, natural skin tones, apply gentle noise reduction, and reduce the distracting overhead lamp flare. Please keep everyone’s appearance and expressions unchanged: no face or body reshaping, teeth whitening, heavy skin smoothing, facial replacement, or generative AI. Avoid a flat, washed-out, or HDR-like result. Deliver a full-resolution uncropped sRGB JPEG, a print-ready horizontal crop at my card printer’s dimensions, and a layered PSD if available. Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any questions about the source file. Deliverables: • Layered PSD preserving all your edits • High-res, print-ready JPEG
