I've been trying for so long playing with photoshop and what trying to figure out how to get the people in the picture like lightened up and i guess make the colors look like its i guess more stand out, i cant explain it. Same goes for the background on the first picture.
I would appreciate whoever can help me on how to figure this out.

I put the effect picture im trying to do on the left and the non edited picture on the right.

Try adding some light by using Filter/render/lighting effects

Dodge and Burn. It's a retouching technique. There are a number of other factors in the image but D&B should get you close to what you want.
