3D Post No. 10 - Bedroom Blues

I had this bedroom render which was too washed out on dark blue, so I had to make some color corrections in photoshop. The fluffy bed model was provided to me by Jeff (Cray in 3dpinoy.com), another 3d artist par excellence.. Thanks dude!

After resetting the colors using color balance (more reds and yellows on the midtones and shadows), here's the result:

To brighten the scene, I used the curves option.. By adding a point and turning the curve upwards on the right side of the graph, the highlights are increased accordingly.

To further enhance the scene, I duplicated the layer and set the layer blending mode to 30% screen, and applying a 4.0 pixels gaussian blur value. (The original file is 1024x768 pixels.)
