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.
