Lightroom conversion
1). I used a user's preset in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom calls [I]Center Stage[/I], found somewhere from the net.
2). further adjusted the preset adjustments on Exposure, Recovery, Filllight etc; etc;
Then in PS, I locally opened up the shadow parts on the foreground (the guys faces) by using curve adjustment and selectively painted in the effect in a layer mask.
