GDPR-354025 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Grampa Simpson had to edit a holiday picture of a lady with long chestnut hair today. As the lady arranged her hair for the series of photos in what males of the species would call a comb-over, we were surprised to find that the comb-over part, when uploaded to social media accounts, looked like she was wearing a black beret on one side of her head. Sacré black! I used 1) Color Picker; and then the 2) Paint Brush with Opacity set at 5% (or less) to paint the chestnut color over the unnaturally darker "comb-over." However, as I anticipate editing future photographs with her hair style in the same... weft (?), I'd like to know if there's a better or additional way of equalizing any image where in real-life the color is uniform. Grampa only wants to end the heartache and thousand natural shocks that photo-editors are heir to. Thank you, and hoppy halidays.

firstdefence Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 What file type were you exporting to? do you have a discreet example i.e. face blurred/cut-out but hair untouched?

GDPR-354025 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ha, not too discreet. Grampa finally comes out as perhaps less cis-gender than the forums always thought. The problem isn't so much the image; it's the fact that, uploaded, the darker part becomes black as shoe polish. Grampa has renounced forever his use of black shoe polish hair dye.

firstdefence Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Dude for the love of {whichever deity you believe in} lose or change the background it does nothing for her skin tone I wonder if they are applying a lot of compression, that's the only real reason I can think of that would turn that area blocky and black else it's a filter being applied like on instagram.

A_B_C Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ha! I always had the suspicion that toupées had played a certain role in Grampa’s former life. Season 24, Episode 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
