One of the drawbacks of my oshi having heterochromia is having fan-artists flip the eye color. Take this for instance:
It's nice, I like it. But the eyes are flipped. First thought I had? Just mirror it (and flip the text, easy enough with no background):
Only after doing that did I notice the Bloom on her sleeve now being on the wrong side (should be Gloom now that it's flipped), and the red highlight in her bangs curving the wrong way. Now, by no means am I
diagnosed with autism or OCD, but this bothers me. So I tried a different technique (for me), using the lasso to select the eyes and editing the hue:
I'm sure if one were to zoom in to the pixel-level there would be some rough edges where I didn't lasso it quite right, and I just eyeballed the colors as opposed to finding the exact right color codes, but as a whole I think it looks pretty decent.
So, all that said; does anyone who knows photo editing know if I did this stupidly or smartly? Are there better ways to do it?
And just because I talked about it before,
my previous post talking about an attempt to mirror art (this one EVERYTHING was flipped except for the sign, so just editing eye color was not an option).
Edit: and the comedy option because it's early in the morning and I should have already gone to bed when this popped into my mind:
