Selecting the Highlight Elephant Layer, I began to brighten up this layer to match the golden highlight values of the elephant in direct sunlight. There are a variety of adjustment techniques that I could have used to brighten and colorize the image -- Levels, Curves, Brightness, Contrast, Color Balance, Hue, Saturation -- but in this case I used the following adjustments:Brightness : +30Contrast : +30Color Balance: Red: +10Color Balance: Yellow : -50Mind you, these are approximate tweaks, but your goal is a brightened golden elephant that now represents the elephant illuminated by direct sunlight. Admittedly, it looks pretty awful, but hang in there.
