I am down to two versions of this candid portrait.

What I need, if you look at this, is which one seems to be the best, and why.

One, because it looks warmer, more attractive than#2

#1 is better because #2 looks a bit too green. Both would be better if there was some light separating the background. The edges of her hair merge.

Nice portrait! Image #1 is warmer in color and appears a touch lighter than #2 which is cooler. The second portrait just shows a touch of "eye bags." The images needs to be cropped slightly on the left to center the head and I would
clone out the stray hairs on the face and above her head.

Be well! Ed

#1 … her eyes.

Both are good pics of a lovely young lady. . .
Number one looks warmer (better skin tones) and more attractive than#2. Both pics would be better with a light to separate the lady from the background.
I would also recommend cropping out or "Healing" the white sweater top, the zipper on the hoodie, and the distracting splash of color to the right of her right shoulder.
I also firmly believe I don't have the patience or skill to do any better.
Best Wishes

Applied the blink test to make it easier to compare. Not that it was difficult, just an exercise. It's an animated gif you have to download it to get it to blink. Had to reduce it to fit within UHH limits.
I like the warmer one. It's also brighter.

Interesting method.
I never considered that before. I had before/after using Java but gave that up.
It probably would work better using WEBP (more colors, better compression).

I will try to create one now.



It works. The file size is only 450 kb...

Thank you. This is a GREAT solution. It prevents hogging (err..) UHH bandwidth.

Was unaware of that app. Thanks for the link.
