The difference with this adjustment is huge. Jennie's hair looks realistic now. The red is gone. The -70 in the Shadows was a "hard left," sucking out most all the red. Less severe but still fairly strong, the -20 in the Highlights sucks the red or pink out of the edge of her hair. The water in the background is now a true clean blue; and the contrast between her blonde hair and the blue water is beautiful.
