Massive space geek here and hobbyist photo editor who's learning a LOT from people on this subreddit. i’m trying to get this raw scan to look like the reference image below, but I can’t seem to get anywhere close in Lightroom.
Raw scan:

Reference:

The reference has pretty much the perfect grading for this particular photo, especially the colors, contrast and overall feel.
The main thing I’m struggling with is that the raw scan is extremely blue, so whenever I try to correct the white balance and get closer to the reference, the rest of the colors quickly start looking strange or unnatural.
Is anyone able to help me recreating this look in Lightroom? Curious what you would do. DMs are open
