Nellie Mulcahy - Please help to fix
« on: Wednesday 30 August 17 07:08 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have this photo of my great aunt from the 1920's and would really appreciate it if someone could help fix the colouring/lighting.  It's been told in our family that the photographer held the light closer to her to make her appear lighter in skin colour as she was Indigenous.

Thank you,
Hollie

What a lovely photo.   And lucky you having indigenous rellies.  What seems odd to me is dressing someone in very light colours if you really want to 'hide' lovely brown skin.   ;)

Would love to have a go, but not on this iPad.    :)
