Best way to remove the harsh shadows

[Brink101112]

I'm trying to use the dodge/burn technique with the soft light. My question though is it seems like it is changing the color of the image to a horrible orange. Maybe I'm just not finishing the whole technique or doing it wrong. This is the SOOR image.  The stupid flash did not fire and I have these harsh horrible shadows on this otherwise ok photo of the bride and her sisters. Help.

Have you seen this tutorial yet?  http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/03/softening-hard-shadows-method-1.html

And if you're going to try the soft light D&B method, you'll really need the color fix step of the "handyman" method (though I don't know if Damien would recommend this approach at all with such harsh shadows): http://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/04/the-handyman-method.html

Before we get into that, can you post this photo in the Raw Class please?

I can't remember where to find HOW to do that, like each step to get the screen shot and I know the 100% one, but how to add the screenshot of the ACR post into ps?

What?  In the Raw Class Posting Area, as usual.  See the pinned post in that section to refresh your memory.
