Postwork Advice

Hello all.  I have a large series of renders (150) I've done for a work office story scene.  The finished renders are a touch dark, so I've been fiddling around in Photoshop making adjustments.  I lack the eye and experience for this kind of thing, and I would appreciate if you could offer any tips on how I could improve the postwork.  I've attached two images with both the before and after versions.  The adjustments to each were the same:

Hue/Saturation Layer -- Saturation +14, Lightness +5

Brightness/Contrast Layer -- Brightness +8, Contrast -14

Levels Layer -- Shadows bumped up to 7

Curves Layer -- Gray point moved to Input 63, Output 71

 

Thank you very much!

    I tend to stay away from postwork if I can help it. I woud suggest playing with the lighting and it's settings more to change the look

    Nobody wants to rerender 150 images! The adjustments look good to me.

    Those settings look good, are you going to create a droplet and do all the images in one go?

    Thank you!  Yes, that was the plan, but I actually ended up just re-doing them all.  Took several extra days readjusting the lights, etc. and re-rendering so I'm not sure I made the right decision. frown
