Title: Family of three
Post by: coopmj on October 17, 2018, 12:05:35 PM

Hi Everyone,

I haven't started this photo yet but I'm wondering about the woman's hair. I'd like to think both sides simply fall to her shoulders but if you look closely, it almost seems like there's some hair sticking up in the back and at the side (see arrows). Could it be some kind of bun in her hair? I looked in the gallery for reference pics and there were a couple although the family is older. She has bangs in those pictures (and the young man thankfully has lost his mullet! ;D) Thoughts are welcome!

Thanks! Mary

Mary, I think in front her hair is combed to the side and no bangs. The top of her head what I think you are seeing is damage and not a bun.

Great! I was hoping it was just damage and I think Kiska is on the right track. Thank you!

Mary

p.s. Maybe it's time the mullet made a comeback? :funny:

Looks really great Mary.. do you think mom has a little parting on the left side of her hair (looking at the screen)?

The woman will love it no matter what. I'm pretty sure she didn't mind getting rid of the poofy hair! lol *wink

Yes, I definitely think there's a little part in her hair. I'll try to enhance it. Many thanks!

Mary, your colors are a little off, perhaps you can move the R,G, & B sliders in another Levels adjustment layer?

Uh oh...already sent it back, but I checked the levels and made the correction. I will resend a second version and Jonas can choose the one he likes best. :) Thanks, Hannie!
