Extra Details:

I adjusted the exposure manually and painted the chair a different color using a 34% opacity on a soft brush.

I brightened the edit with Newborn Necessities Pick me up Color at 64% and Sugar and Spice at 76%. I brushed the Sugar & Spice off of his facial skin, used hush the red and gray paint on fix to remove red and gray splotches from his skin and added crying for contrast at 50%.

I used fill flash from MCP Extra Four Seasons at 23%, and used MCP Color Change from the Free Texture Applicator Action to take the green tint out of his face.

I used cake smash color pop from Newborn Necessities a tiny bit on the cake to bring out the colors. Lastly I quieted the highlight with Newborn Necessities a tiny bit to tone down the image.
