Assistance with color grading and upscaling of my album cover

Hello everyone I am currently working on designing my album cover but I find it very difficult to achieve the final product. I know the image is blurry to begin with but reshooting this is not possible.

Any assistance in the following areas would be great:

- Color grading to make it cinematic and professional.

- I want to achieve that golden hour effect.

- Image enhancement and upscaling.

- Enhancement of lighting, contrast and clarity.

- Retention of original theme.

I just want to achieve a good finish of my original design so that it looks ready to be uploaded online.

The Official Weekly RAW Editing Challenge!

The Official Weekly RAW Editing Challenge!

Every week, we post a new RAW file for you to edit - the moderators will provide a link to the file in the comments section. After you have downloaded the file and made all the edits you wish, post a link to your final edit in this thread so other users can upvote their favourite edits. The winner is the user with most upvotes by the end of the week.

The winner can send us one of their photos to be used in next week's competition.

Rules:

  • All RAW files in these threads will be released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (See rules in the sidebar.)
  • Links in your comment must lead directly to your edit.
  • If you enter the competition, you must be able to provide a RAW file for next week. The moderators will message you if this is the case, please respond in time for the next competition on Sunday.
  • If you enter the competition, you must vote on other people's entries.
  • Don't downvote everyone else in the thread or use bots/fake accounts to upvote yourself or the moderators will shadowban you.

This thread will be in contest mode until the end of the week. This means comment scores will be hidden and submissions will not display in any particular order.

Note:

If there is no link to a RAW file in the comments section, the moderators are still waiting for a file from last week's winner and will provide a link to the file as soon as one is available.

I hate my wedding photos :(

Hi! I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do- my wedding was October 2025 and every time I look at my photos, I want to cry because I really just am unhappy with them. I loved my engagement photos but the photographer changed her editing style by the time of my wedding. Is there a way to have them re-edited by someone else? Is it too late to reach out to the original photographer and ask to have them re-edited or ask for the RAW files? We just look so washed out in the photos so I think it’s mainly the coloring she did that I am unhappy with. Is there anything I can do?!? Thank you so much
