Photography and Affinity Photo Newbie Looking for Feedback


sel

Recommended Posts

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

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
