Yeah, she knows all that. I'm ignorant on photo manipulation and editing techniques, but she's a professional photographer with a flair for the artsy, and she wanted something different.|

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. |
Also, being a photographer, she's rarely on the receiving end of the cam.

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.  *drops controversial knowledge then quickly, yet dramatically, exits the thread stage left* |
