kboortz Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have an old color photo that is discolored because of age. I managed to adjust the levels in Affinity Photo so that it looks ok, except one area where it is too red. I have spent quite some time trying to figure out how to remove the red from the dress and I looked at lots of video tutorials. But I haven't figured this out. Do you have a suggestion how I fix this? I'm new to Affinity photo and photo editing, please use a more simple language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_komorov Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 One way of doing this: Duplicate image, make color adjustments on duplicate so discolored area matches original, then use transparency/eraser to blend duplicate with original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Do you have a sample of the original we can use to test some idea's out on.

But that is likely because I'm too unused with image editors. Will try again, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm likely just slow because I don't understand with you mean by a "sample of the original"? The image above is 666 × 750 pixels and contains the relevant part of the image, isn't that a sample? I did not want to paste the whole image for privacy reasons, the original photo is not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
