Hi everyone :)
I need a little help with an image that one of my students' took. The image was shot on Kodak Portra 160NC film, and scanned. The scanner isn't calibrated, so there is some color correction to be done to this image (I white balanced it in ACR, but everything else was zeroed out so nothing else has been done to the image).
My problem is that I don't have any film knowledge (I'm all digital ;)), so I don't really know what to do with the color. I'm assuming that the photographer chose to shoot with Kodak Portra because they like the look of that film stock, so I'm thinking that the color balance of the corrected image should reflect the characteristics of that film. There is a Kodak Portra Flickr group that I am finding quite helpful (http://www.flickr.com/groups/1253206@N20/) - but I'm still a bit stuck...
If anyone could give me a hand with this one I'd really appreciate it.

Lee,
This is one messed up image...
Aside from the noise...
Send the student back to the scanner and tell him to get it right next time...<Kidding>
Here is my post...I'll tell more later...not to give too much away too soon...

If only I could ::)
That's a really great correction Greg - thanks so much :D I would love to hear your approach...
I will post my version - but I'd like to wait a little longer to see whether anyone else takes a shot at this.
Cheers,
Lee.

Let's see if the other "sharks" are still working...
