affinity photo Photography and Affinity Photo Newbie Looking for Feedback

[sel]

Hello all,

 

I tried my hand at editing a photo of my wife while we were on vacation and wanted to get some feedback on what I did wrong and what could be better. Also, if you look at her glasses you can see a purple hue from the sun’s reflection—I tried for an hour to figure out a way to isolate the color and remove it to no avail—any idea how I can remove it?

 

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback in advance,

Steve

One way...

1. Add new pixel layer at top of the stack
2. Change layer blend mode to colour
3. Zoom in to Glasses area
4. Select Brush Tool, set Opacity and Hardness to 50%
5. Choose colour for Brush Tool by sampling the correct skin colour near to the purple bits
6. Paint over the purple bits

As you move around the purple bits you will need to resample the skin colour for those bits if it is different from the originally sampled skin colour

You can toggle the new pixel layer off and on to see your progress
