Hi everyone! I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place, but I need help correcting a photo. I took this picture of myself while on vacation today - it's just a quick selfie, nothing fancy. My issue is I had straightened my naturally wavy hair, humidity was bad, and boom, I have major frizz. I don't have some of the programs many of you have, so any tips would really help me out, thank you!
would be of no use with the hair issue even though I do have programs because my hair is usually wayward and I ignore it - but - you have beautiful eyes and I would not have noticed the hair so much because they drew my focus :)
Are we talking the strand across your eye, the frizz on top of your head or the overall frizz visible on the right hand side of the shot, or all of it? To be quite honest, I think that you look great in this shot and the frizz makes your hair look a lot more natural.
You can only do so much with the camera jpeg after the fact. Here's an attempt - cloning out the hair over your eye, painting some blur strokes on the hair highlights and desaturating the background a little - in Photoshop. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m22e5rnscxrykxs/mine.jpg?dl=0
First, your hair looks GORGEOUS. But if you want to smooth it out a bit, I wonder if bringing the highlights down would take the edge off. You should be able to do that in Lightroom or Picasa or any other editing program, I'd imagine. If you have PS elements, you could use the clone tool, patch tool (my favorite), or "burn" the blown out fly-aways.
Travelling at the moment so I can't thank everyone individually, but I appreciate all of the answers! I'll play around with the image this evening. You guys rock!
I find the hair in your eyes most distracting and then the frizz on the right :)
