Okay, what I do now is to use the ROC filter to remove the reddish color cast. As you will see, the filter removes too much color, but that's okay, I'll just fade that effect. In image 9, you see how washed out the filter makes the image. I'll now reduce it's effect by using the fade function. (see image 10).

Next I'll adjust the levels. (image 11). I'd like a bit more contrast, so I'll increase that. (image 12). Then I'll add a bit more color by increasing the saturation. (image 13)

Now I'll clean up any spots or blemishes on the picture, I'll resize it, then I'll sharpen it.

Last, I'll use the Sharpen tool to sharpen certain areas on her body, and that's it. The picture is finished. (image 14).

The actual size finished version is image 15.
