Photo Do-Overs

posted in a little bit of everything |

The other day my daughter took a digital photo of me that I used online for a virtual makeover. It was absolutely the most disgusting photo! It was so bad that I got on the phone and made an appointment to get my hair done and I’ve been out shopping for make-up. It slays me that I put effort into getting ready every morning, washing, drying and styling my hair and putting on make-up and yet, when I saw that photo it made me wonder if that’s how I look to everyone else. What I wouldn’t have done to have been able to “do-over” that photo!

Even the virtual makeover I did didn’t help too much. It was very limiting. I would’ve like to have been able to do some photo enhancement before submitting the photo for a virtual makeover. Besides my hair, I would’ve liked to be able to do some complexion evening and teeth whitening. As it was, I was really only able to do my hairstyle in the makeover.

I think it would be great to airbrush some of our own digital photos to make them look more professional. We’re due for a new family photo so maybe I’ll be checking into some online software for this purpose.

    I know exactly what you’re saying. I had my picture taken last December for my new military card, and it is soooooo awful. I loved the picture on the last military card. It was the best picture I’ve ever taken on a card of that type. I was so sad when he took my card and gave me that one. I put some color in my hair, but that wouldn’t have helped much in the picture. It is in black and white, so it just looks blaw!

    Peggy – I just got back from having my hair cut and colored and am thinking maybe now I’ll feel more like going to the DMV and getting my new driver’s license. Those pictures are always so bad anyway. If you happen to be having a bad hair day, which I’ve been having every day, it just makes the picture that much worse.
