This week’s re-edited photo comes courtesy of Jia-Li Cosplay cosplaying the Mutant, Jubilee from the X-Men franchise.
I have already edited a version of this cosplay which you can view here, where she’s jumping in the air.
2020 EDIT PROCESS
I started with the basic changes I always do, by adjusting the exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, HSL, and etc. Throughout this project of re-editing my older photos, I do not refer to the original edited the photo so I can see if I would make the same steps or make alternative decisions.
There wasn’t much I ended up changing in this photo. I decided that in Photoshop was to remove the upright sign along the beam. I added gradient filter in opposite corners of shades of yellow and pink.
After skin smoothing and adding additional contouring, I felt the image was good enough. It’s interesting to see the 2016 photo the image seem to be slightly brighter in the background compared to the 2020 edited photo. I am very proud of both photos.
Looking at the two photos, I don’t know really which I prefer. I like how illuminated on Jia-Li face is in 2016 edited photo but the background in 2020 edited photo I do like. Check out the side by side comparison to see between the two photos.
