reverse light-filtered (phone application) photo

Assalamualaikum & Greetings.
this isn't really a tutorial cos people might knew this already but i've discovered this while just randomly going over some options in gimp. i love to edit using gimp cos so far it's been the most easiest free online editing photos tool to use. okay, back to the topic. what i'm going to show you today is how to turn the light filtered photo (like the ones that used b612, vsco or etc.) to the original unfiltered ones (or something close to that)

left (filtered); right (reversed filter)

left (filtered); right (reversed filter)

as you can see, the quality becomes more vivid and seems like unfiltered. so, that's exactly what we're aiming for. but, this only works for bright pictures (the ones that caught in daylight) and also the ones that using light filters like this, not heavily edits like sketch or 3d thingy. okay, let's continue reversing the photos.


Tools needed: GIMP

1. first of all, open the picture you wanted to edit in GIMP


2. then, go to colors > auto > white balance

3. and you'll get this (noted that the picture have too much redness, so i'll teach you some extra to lessen the red filters too)

4. go to colors > color balance

5. then using highlights (which covers the most bright part of the image), lessen the first ones to -20. this will lessen the red highlights in the picture.

 6. in the same tab also, go to midtones and lessen it the same as before. this will lessen the midtones of red (majority of the color used)

notes:
- if the picture is kinda the same after step 2, that means the white balance in the picture is fine. or, the picture is the original ones.
- step 5 and 6 is not needed if the photo turns out okay. these two steps are only if the picture is having too much of such colors.

so, the last output would be;

the reverse filter only works for light filtered ones, okay and i'm sorry if the reversed one isn't as beautiful but i kinda like the conversion i did so far. and also, i'm using @BTS_twt pictures cos they love using filters and sometimes, i just like the original better. so, below i'm gonna compile some of the reversed edits i made :) enjoy and thanks for reading~

I'm an EXO-L

Assalamualaikum & Greetings. I'm in the mood fort his just because I'm looping their playlist while doing this. Or else, argh. Well, this is one lame story how I became one but I'll tell you anyway. Hee. As you know, EXO is a 12 member boy group which have two separate group known as EXO-K (promotes in Korea) and EXO-M (promotes in China). Who's that guy? Okay, the first person that I know in EXO is Kim Jongin or his stage name, KAI. He got a model kinda pose in the teaser image so I thought he must be an awesome model. Second person I saw after Kai is Luhan. He got the beauty feels on his pose but still I only know their name and face. And to mention there are only two of them that are released at that time. around early March 2012. And yeah SM also release their group name and I'm like Ek-so? Like, what?

Internet Suicide

words of wisdom by mr. doodle Assalamualaikum & Greetings. Looking at the title seems like a serious case huh? Well, it is for me. I've been expose to the internet since my early high school days, 2008 maybe? It is myspace of course at that time. The thing about the internet is everything you post become public and it is quite scary how many information other people can gain about us just by searching our name. Luckily, my name is quite common but still my pictures are still out there. You know if we deleted the pictures from the Internet, the copy of it will always remain. It is quite embarrassing if unnecessary photo came out as you're preparing for your resume. Well, nowadays there are hackers, Photoshop and etc. People tend to hack other and steal identity. Others tried to make themselves look good by editing their pictures. My point is, is it really necessary? I know the Internet is in the peak of it's usage nowadays. But still letting yourself to be easily s...
