You might also ask her why she wants to mess with perfection.....

Great minds think alike!   The very first thing I told her was, "Go get a wig, and I'll reshoot."   But she would have none of it.

 

I think the best solution is for me to give Photoshop a try, and then show her the horridly botched results.   I'll tell her, "See?  I tried.  Now go get the wig!"

I suggest you tell her that she looks beautiful as she is but if she wants to change her hair colour (that shall include her eyebrows) to black she should go to a hair dresser and as for it to be dyed and then re-take the photograph.

 

I believe that you can change her hair colour, including her eyebrows, in Photoshop by selecting the hair using the magic selector then use the colour control but you would have to do it in stages as the highlights need different treatment to the shadows. I also think it is too difficult for me.

 

Changing her hair colour would mean that her complexion would not match her hair and so she would not look “right”.

Subject: She Who Must Be Obeyed

 

My girlfriend, otherwise known as She Who Must Be Obeyed, said she liked this portrait I did of her.  But she wants me to change the color of her hair to black.   I said that would be very difficult, considering my limited skill with Photoshop.   She said, "Try."

 

Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.
