What would be the best way the fix the color in this (108K) image example:
<http://www.saunalahti.fi/~shmhav/original.jpg>
The original 2048×1536 image was taken indoors with outdoor color balance so there is a very strong red color cast in the foreground.
The Levels’ gray eyedropper produced some ugly posterization on the face. I got slightly better result with the following technique (from Eismann: Restoration and retouching):
I sampled color from the shadow of the white collar, created an empty Layer and filled it with that color and inverted it. Then I set the Layer’s Opacity to 50% with Color blending Mode. I brightened up the foreground with a Levels adjustment Layer and masked out the brightest spots in the background. Then I lowered the Fill Layer’s Opacity to 45% to make the image a bit warmer. The result is at:

Are there better techniques for this?
