That shirt/blouse/whatever is daylight fluorescent, meaning it takes in UV, radiates that along with reflecting visible light. That makes it unnaturally bright and effectively different colors between where the sun is hitting directly and where it's not (UV doesn't reflect the same way and the fluorescing and reflected colors differ a bit) - which might be why that bit on the side isn't being selected. Pity the CP color wheel doesn't put a handle on the color under the center point (or the CL put one on the color the dropper is on) as then you might be able to widen / narrow the color range being selected. Ah well. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Good explanation, thanks. I think a second cp might work on the basis that if the first one missed that spot, it must as you say be a different colour. I’ll experiment and post back.
@@chriswrightphotographs FWIW, that technique works perfectly on evenly colored areas (e.g. turn a blue car green). Daylight fluorescent made it tricky. Gotta wonder how PL is calculating color-range-to-selection - and whether just moving the control point you have on the blouse might change that. I'd *guess* it works like the other eyedroppers in the app so you might be able to get both fluorescing and reflecting colors in the pickup circle. Aaaand good luck explaining that one in a video. 🙂
So I placed a second CP on the missed section, overlapping the original and that second adjustment worked fine, turning that missed area blue. This confirms your point, and clears up the question of how the dropper/CP behaves. they "present" as different colours and the maths treats them as such. I want to test on a bigger picture so I can see if there is any overlap, If there is then fiddling about with a negative CP would fix it, but on a picture of this scale it wouldn't be a productive use of time! It's hard to tell as the figures are so small.
