Difficulty Matching Colours - Tygra - 12-30-2024

Hi all,

I need some help with a colour matching on a piece of work I am currently doing.

I have attached the first image where no colour matching has been applied to the subject. I have attached a second image where colour matching is applied.

I am experimenting with levels, colour balance, brightness, contrast, saturation etc, but I can't quite get it how I would like. For example the background is reddish, so I am applying red using colour balance to the woman, but she might look too red. However, if she doesn't have a reddish tint, then the subject woman also doesn't match.

Can I get someone's advice on this please?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have also applied a slight linear motion blur to the second image to help blend the woman in more.

If you have the G'Mic-Qt plug-in, you can experiment with CLUT (Color Look Up Table) colors. You can find G'Mic-Qt here: https://gmic.eu/download.html
Use in G'Mic-Qt: Filters / G'Mic-Qt / Colors / Color Presets.
You can find LUTs on the internet, you can legally download 90 LUTs for free here:
