Request: Fixing colors on the following


Recommended Posts

 

The following photo was taken circa 1970-1972 abs was part of an ID photo, however it is to me close enough to an HD photo of the subject (deceased relative) despite the horrible background color

However, the professional scan below I feel was way too oversatured and too high in contrast

I was hoping someone might correct the colors for me 

The second, marked id -3 pic is an attempt by myself to correct it

The third/fourth  pic are color reference pics of subject in 1972 in natural - ambient lightning.

If you have access to Photoshop, you can use "select color range" to isolate the background color and then pain over it or add a background layer with a separate photo. Here I use a neutral gray color. There is some some resultant color fringing from the selection which could be removed with a bit of cloning.
