Can you guys give it a try and let me know what settings you used?

I've been trying to adjust the blacks, whites, and gray without any luck. I am using PP CS3.

Many thanks in advance.
 
That would kind of be easy if you had 'MB LOOKS'

Meantime ..try Levels and Saturation

or

Curves

Whatever...use Levels first to get grey tonal scales right...then mess with Color Controls
 
I don't know if this is what you're going for, but here. If you think it matches I'll be glad to post the settings.

The thing that struck me the most in those reference images are the sharpness, that as well as the color makes everything "pop" the way it does. In term of the color there are very hot highlights, heavily crushed blacks and almost a slight cool tint. Your uncorrected grabs lack highlight areas since they're pretty evenly exposed, so it'll be tough to get that look.

That is quite bleached actually. The skin has been over exposed. Maybe slightly under with a bluish frame?

I thought MB is really used for grading. I want to CC and then grade, with MB if thats the way to do it.
