If you look beyond the blue water and blonde hair you will notice a new problem and side effect from the last color correction (Hue/Saturation).

Her eyes have a weird green tint and so do the shadows at the roots of her hair. It looks as if moss is growing there. Yikes! You can also see more of the same green color beneath her arms on the edge of the swimming pool.

And here you see the final image. The colors are right, the tone is flattering, and Jennie Garth looks stunning. Her hair color, her skin, her cheeks, her lips, her arms, and the blue water in the background all look excellent.


UPDATE: After seeing this picture months later, it became clear there is still another problem. CLICK HERE for the upgrade.
