white wall

[blaga]

 How can I make the wall white in Photoshop?

[Damien Symonds]

The first thing we need to clarify is this - you definitely don't want to make it pure white. Bright white, I mean.  That would look implausible, and make the child look dark and dull by comparison.

What we want is to make it neutral.

Furthermore, we can see that the wall is quite nicely neutral at the bottom.  This is a great example of how quickly light falls off in a studio.  So we'll aim to match the top of the wall to the bottom.

This is the method you'll use: https://www.damiensymonds.net/levels-eyedropper

Thank you! I like it. I am going to try this method.

No, that one looks rather blue.

Better?
