The best I can suggest is to add a Solid Color layer of hair brown, and set it to Multiply mode, then mask it on very gently where needed. I used a 10% brush in this example: I realise it's not spectacular, but I hope it's better than nothing.

Oh, it exists. How far down that path do you get?

Great. Go ahead and follow the instructions.

That focus is fine.

Yep, that's a laptop.

If it's going to be possible (and I'm deeply skeptical) there can't be those black shadows. Start again with your raw processing, without ANY black clipping.

As if it's a source of light, do you mean?

I've had great success with this method. Make sure you do your raw processing before any Photoshop work, of course.

Oh, no, I'd get a new monitor to plug in to your laptop. (Unless you were already thinking about replacing the laptop for other reasons)

May we see a 100% crop?

Great job.

Click on "Advanced Mode" and see if the mask is turned on.

Gosh yes, that's DEFINITELY the problem.

Thanks. What are the exact dimensions of the file you prepared?

Dare we push it even more?

Have you tried these? http://www.wikihow.com/Force-Quit-an-Application-in-Mac-OS-X

Then you're not trying hard enough

Don't forget to do the lip also.

Meh, just force-quit it.

I'd push it further.

Oh, just blend the mask gently.

No you didn't. You didn't compare the prints.

For free, you can't go wrong, I reckon. Give it a go.

No, just the background. Behind the baby. Isn't that where the banding was?

Fog would just be a white Solid Color layer, masked on at very low opacity.
