Any advice on this photo?

Hi.. I'm not a G2 owner but have always wanted it. Always been
fascinated with canon colour and superb quality. I recently
receieved a photo from my friend taken with a G2. The scene was in
his living room, no flash with a tripod. It seems as the mixed
lighting conditions confused the white balance so the pic looks
pretty orangey. Moreover, it also seems to exhibit a foggy cast.
I tried correcting it last night but couldn't. I tried using the
eyedropper in the levels function and even colour balance but
achieved little success.

So.. are there any experts here that can tell me how to fix it?
Thanks.

Here's the pic:



For some reason the exif is gone.. I asked him if he had edited it
but he said no. Thanks.

In PhotoShop:

First run autolevels.
Next sharpen.
Then select the man.
Soften the selection.
Reduce the red channel saturation.

Save image.

This was not a very hard challenge. With a bigger file to work
with it would look much better.

2) Channel Mixer - Red / 80% Red / 0% Green / 0% Blue
3) Channel Mixer - Green / 0% Red / 120% Green / -30% Blue
4) Levels - Input Levels 20 / 1.19 / 220
5) Channel Mixer - Red / 90% Red / 20% Green / -20% Blue
6) Unsharpen Mask - 50% / 1.0 pixels / 1 level
7) Hue Saturation - Master / +5 Hue / -30 Saturation

or this one:



The funny thing was I used to send the large version's link to a
fellow coworker @ work. He would reply to my email and say I
should not scare him like that. Then he stopped opening the
links.. i got him tho.. i embedded it into an asp page and
redirected him to it hehe..

I like them. = )
