You can tell, cause she offered my chocolates!!
I have to stay away, not cause you said so, but because @Anasthesia would go, to quote her, "crazy mad scrapper" on me.

By the way, here's @Anasthesia:

Lol don't know about god... mebe Demi-zod of photo phixinz.

Well I've traveled all over the world and taken many hundreds of pictures but didn't always have such a great camera so
I taught myself how to fix up photos out of necessity more than anything. It can be a fun challenge sometimes too.
Thanks guys, decided to try another Dante's this time.


Corrected the blue-ish cast in the shadows and the red-ish eye glare.
I had to kind of guess at the real color of his eyes (went with slate blue)
and that his shirt was black. Also fixed up the skin tone and the dark circles
under his eyes and got rid of some background artifacts and dust flecks.
Couple little blemishes corrected for good measure.
Cheers!

P.S. Don't ask why I fixed the pit marks in the wall behind him... they just had to go.
Hong Kong Phooey FTW!

Lol nope. Believe it or not I'm not an artist by trade either (it's for the most part a self taught hobby).
I build custom computers for a living while I study other areas of interest.

I approve of your kid's choice of t-shirt!

Christopher Robin, that's amazing, thank you very much. I think I'll have to update my FB profile picture with that one now. And yes, my eyes are blue so good choice.

No idea why you tidied up my old flat either but thank you, looks less of a state now.

Makes more sense (although less funny) within the prior context that way.

Also I took a whack at fixing the over exposed (heh) pic of Anasthesia above...
much trickier but I think it shows her off better now.
Cheers!
Heh, thanks.

She took that with her webcam while leaning into her monitor.

Not at all. Even if she did have a few extra pounds on her, she is 2 months pregnant in that pic. Its just a woman thing. They always think they are fat

Yeah I guessed from blown frontal lighting that it was taken with a webcam mounted on a monitor.
One thought on that... try turning up any indirect lighting in the room (if possible) and then putting an image
of black or dark grey on the screen (hint: open any image editing app and use the paint bucket to fill it or, barring that,
turn the brightness and contrast way down on your screen).

Shrink or tuck off to the side whatever app needs to run to capture the image and then try it.
You'll probably get a much better result initially and also you will have a better starting point from which to edit if you choose to.

You can always add brightness and contrast if an image is a little too dark but if you completely out part of it (all white) when you do turn
the brightness down there will be nothing left in that space for you to edit and you'll have to try and re-create information that no longer exists.

I hear ya man and that's a good answer (especially since you are soon to be married, congratz! ) but if you want a little tip though I'd say shorten it.
Granted every woman is a little different but here is what some women reading that statement might choose to take away from it...

Not at all. Even if she did have A FEW EXTRA POUNDS on her she is 2 months PREGNANT IN THAT PIC. Its JUST A WOMAN THING?. They always think they are FAT!

Just say "Not at all."

Trust me everything said after that point won't gain you any points and could potentially come
back to haunt you years later during an unrelated argument on some idle Tuesday when you least expect it.

This is currently the only picture I have on photobucket. That's me in the armor, and that's my squire next to me.

And What I do (medieval re-creation) and what Civil War Re-enactors do, is not LARPing it's teaching history by doing history. That and I get to really hit other people with a fricken sword.
