Workshop Note
Set colour to more neutral tone (on my claibrated monitor).
1. Set black and white points using curves layer. Pretty much spot on anyhow. This clean up a little of the cast in the black plumage.
2. Adjusted colour using grey picker tool on another curves layer. Selected around the white patch on the breast of the bird.
3. Increase eye highlight detail via lasso selection feathed to 5 pixels and then added a curves layer set to screen blend mode. Reduced opacity to 40%.
Cheers
