dorriecharles Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When taking a photo of my dog, the flash appears and leaves a white circle instead of the actual eye. Please please could someone tell me in simple explanatory language how I can put this right. I have spent hours upon hours trying to rectify this, and because I am new to this,I seem to be missing the main points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The most effective way would be eye replacement so find a suitable image that you can use as a donor, all you will need are the eyes so everything else can be erased, this will give the best result. This is the afphoto file Saved with history so you can jog back and forth in the history panel. ignore the first few steps with regard to selection, I changed my mind and decided donor eyes was a much better option. doberman new eyes.afphoto Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

dorriecharles Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I am sorry, I dont have a clue about doing this. I am finding this Affinity extremely diffficult to master. But I really want to do this photo nicely, as my dog died, and I want to put her photo on my wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sorry to hear that your dog died. Do you have any other pictures of your dog? It will be hard to exactly match his/her eye colour without knowing what the true colour was.PS: It that a Doberman, it looks like it may be a Doberman/Labrador mix?

dorriecharles Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi there. Sorry to have taken so long to reply, this dog was special, and I still find it difficult to see her photo and work on it, despite I still have 2 other dogs here now. Her name was Rachel, and she was a rottwielr/doberman mix. I worked on the eyes, by taking them from a photo of my previous 'rotterman'. What do you think?

If I wanted to quibble, the pupils on the two eyes seem to be aligned differently. However, I only noticed that because I was looking very closely.

dorriecharles Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 John - Thank you for your input, I was ok about the way the pic of my lovely dog turned out, although I took advice and did copy & paste the eyes of one of my other dogs and used these in the new pic. I am so new to this, I just seem to start and then stop, I find it difficult to say the least!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
