Can this pic be saved?

March 12th, 2012


I have no idea why my son's face has a huge shadow on it. I dont know if editing software can save this pic..Any advice is really appreciated! Thank you

What editing software do you use? If you use Capture NX2 and it can be saved very quickly by applying a control point to the dark part of his face and brightening it up a bit. I don't know how to "fix" it in PS or GIMP, though.

Thanks Mike. I just purchased Photoshop Elements 10 but I have to say I have no idea how to do much more than clear blemishes and crop..LOL. I just hated the idea of deleting this pic if it could actually be fixed. Not sure if Elements 10 would even be able to fix. I appreciate your response :)

I'll fix it for you for a dollar.

LOL @ Gary. You got it :)

Sweet. Give me a few minutes. I need to finish shaving my back first.

But, really, a few minutes.

Dude, real talk. I tried like hell not to go black and white, but in the end, I just couldn't help it. Trying to pull colors out of the abyss like that gave your kid a real jaundiced kind of look, so I had no other choice.

Plus, even after fixing the shirt, there was this weird discoloration dripping down the front of that looked like a puke stain or something. I figured you guys were enjoying the game and all, but I didn't want anyone thinking he got too loaded, ya know?

So, yeah, black and white it is.

There's two versions below. I'd go with the second one for sure.

Oh, and next time tell the person using your camera not to cover the flash with their finger! :D

OMG Gary you are CRACKING me up!! LOL I do prefer the 2nd one...ha ha ha! Seriously, the black and white looks great and I was sick thinking I would have no picture at all of my son meeting the Coach, so this one will do just fine! I appreciate your doing this and you now have a follower for life (or 365 days..LOL)

@shadesofgrey Despite the awfulness of that picture, I am truly amazed with the amount of detail it pulled from the black.
March 12th, 2012
Wow! I love this!!! You are amazing!!

@superbeyotch Hey, don't mention it. I'm just thrilled you got a laugh out it, and didn't freak out. There's a lot of sensitive people around these parts! :)

Also, that's not you in the pic? I totally thought it was.

I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face! My husband on the other hand said it was the creepiest thing he has ever seen! LMAO Thank you for saving my pic...don't like having the kiddo upset at me..ha ha

@gurry @superbeyotch Gary, firstly, nice job. You have a knack. Second, it was a much needed laugh for the day. Hope the back does not have 5 o clock shadow already after the shave.
