Edit an image to restore natural, professional color.

Use this exact prompt text in the model, plus the recommended tool settings below:

Edit the uploaded photo (use the provided reference image) to remove the heavy, artificial color filter and produce a natural, professionally color‑corrected portrait. Deliver a realistic, neutral daylight look with accurate skin tones, true blues for the jersey, natural greens for the field, and neutral grays/blacks for the net and ball. Keep the original composition and crop.

Global corrections:

• Remove overall color cast (neutralize magenta/teal or heavy warm/cool tint). Aim for a neutral white balance around daylight (~5200–6000K) with minimal tint.
• Reduce excessive saturation from any creative filter; restore natural saturation while preserving the jersey’s strong blue.
• Recover highlights (reduce clipping) and lift shadows to reveal texture in hair, jersey, and ball.
• Apply moderate contrast and subtle clarity (+6 to +12) to keep details crisp without harshness.
• Mild noise reduction while preserving fine texture (especially hair and fabric).
• Natural sharpening (avoid halos or over‑sharpened edges).
• Subtle, very natural vignette (if any) to keep focus on the subject — do not darken skin or change mood.

Local/subject-specific adjustments:

• Skin: correct hue and luminance so skin looks healthy and realistic (warm undertone, no orange or green cast), slightly increase exposure on face +0.1–+0.3 stops, preserve pores — do NOT over-smooth.
• Hair: maintain curl texture, slightly lift shadow detail, avoid flattening.
• Jersey (blue): restore saturated yet natural blue (slightly reduce cyan shift if present), keep whites (numbers/trim) bright and neutral (no color bleed).
• Ball: restore true blacks and whites and natural contrast; remove any color contamination from filter.
• Sky/background: gentle dehaze and restore a natural pale to medium blue gradient; slightly desaturate background elements so the subject pops.
• Net: keep crisp, neutral blacks/greys; restore line clarity without adding halos.
• Foreground/field: restore true turf tones (natural muted greens/browns depending on turf), remove any unnatural tint.

Color grading style:

• Natural, realistic, editorial/sports portrait look — cinematic but not stylized. No heavy teal/orange or split‑toning.
• Keep skin tones priority: all color corrections must preserve realistic skin hue and avoid push toward magenta/green/orange extremes.

Quality and artifacts:

• No posterization, banding, or obvious processing artifacts.
• Avoid plastic/airbrushed skin, unrealistic glow, or lens flares unless they are present in the original photo and realistic.
• Preserve original sharpness and detail; avoid overprocessing.

Output:

• Produce a single, natural color corrected version; maintain original aspect ratio and framing.
• Provide before/after preview if available.

Negative prompts (things to avoid):

• No heavy stylized filters, no teal/orange grade, no oversaturation, no extreme warmth/coolness, no skin smoothing, no face alterations, no added props or synthetic lighting, no posterization, no artificial color casts.

Tips for iterations:

• If skin still looks slightly off, add a short followup: “Slightly warm skin tones +2% luminance, reduce magenta tint on midtones.”
• If the jersey blue looks muted, add: “Increase blue saturation selectively on the jersey by +8% while leaving other blues unchanged.”
• Run 2–3 quick variants with conservative and slightly stronger corrections to choose the most natural outcome.
