[Two Questions]

I Just figured it out thanks

[Two Questions]

Ist question:

The color values for the color picker RGB appear to be displayed two ways. One as the traditional 3 digit values and a decimal and 2 digits.  When the latter happens , how do I get it to revert the original values? I may have fat fingered the keyboard to trigger it.

2nd question:  

I have a render of the inside of a building produced in Sketchup with a Vray render. I want to change the color of the walls. Is there a way to outline the outside edges (corners and ceilings) and the inside edges (windows and doors) and use the color replacer? I am trying to speed up the process and keep the edges crisp and clean. See the orange lines on the example.

 

TIA

long answer is that it will take a bit of preliminary work

Thanks to all. I have been using Foxit Phantom PDF. I takes some effort to edit items also.  I will give Publisher a try, definitely cheaper than Foxit.

Publisher just caught my eye. Will or can it edit an existing PDF? Like changing and or adding text and Pictures.

better to take 3 or five exposure bracketed photos and blend them. You could try hdr ; however it's a job I would do manually 
Tripod would a be an advantage
Another way could be to add some flash -- bracketing will be your friend. 
1/2 the fun is working how to do it .

I had planned for the tripod

Flash and bracketing, will add that to the plan

The challenge is what it is ALL about! I will work with this on Friday.

Thx

It is good to see that so many of you replying are still full of Christmas spirit -- the 80 proof kind, perhaps?

Happy hangovers.

Your biggest drama is the lights are somewhat overexposed ; however you will be able to rescue some of that in the raw file 
Would seem 'shadow/highlight' worked well enough in this edit --- I have also used curves to balance out the light and darks  but it's rather limited with a small jpeg . 
This will give you some ideas --- maybe crop out the belly and one light --- and a bit from the bottom --- use two layers > one darkened/one lightened > blend the two together --- likely getting a bit ahead of you now 

I am thinking about taking another shot of the area with the lights turned off and blending the two. Then possibly adding a point light to each sconce.

Actually the edits will be used on a group photo to kill the lights.

[lighting Question]

I am NEW to photo editing and have a basic grasp of Affinity Photo. The image I am working with is both a raw and a jpeg. What I want to do is either eliminate or soften  the glow  around the 2 sconce lights on the wall. BTW the belly is going also. What is the best way to achieve my goal on the lighting issue? To cut the file size I uploaded the .jpg
