Selection Edge Pixels

Woops... I posted the graphics for what I was going to send in the day before. I didn't send it in because I figured out what the problem was. I quick selected the jacket and turned it into a layer mask and forgot about it. When I went back later, I saw just the jacket on a transparent field. I clicked on the transparent part of the pic with the magic wand tool expecting all the transparent pixels except the jacket to be selected. Photoshop had other ideas though, and presented the outlines of every object that I purposefully did not include on that layer. It seems like Photoshop files have ghosts of information that I deleted, and they will rear their long-forgotten, unwelcome heads when I least expect them to.

That's VP Kamala Harris. She's a heartbeat away from being the most powerful woman this planet has ever seen. The color of that suit screams "Admin Assistant" rather than "Leader of the Free World." You know Vladimir Putin laughed his butt off when he saw that photo. It drains the color out of her face and makes her look sick and physically weak. I'm getting ready to launch an image consulting business that provides seasonal color analysis (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn) for people who want to look their best. Part of the service will include re-colorizing photos sent in by the clients with the harmonious colors of their seasonal palette. I colorized VP Harris' suit red, which is a power color, but chose a warm red that has a hint of yellow that harmonizes with her warm skin tones. It makes her look healthy and vibrant. Putin will see it as symbolizing the color of the blood of Harris' freshly slain enemies. We'll all be safer if he's afraid of her. 

If any of you Adobe community members would like a free color analysis, I'll be happy to do one as a token of my appreciation for the support you've provided. Most color analysts sell make-up or in-person consultations, or sell their time. My plan is to sell personalized electronic documents. Send me a photo of yourself taken outside in natural daylight (but not squinting in full sun) with a piece of white paper next to your face. I attached a sample of me looking out a west-facing window holding a white envelope next to my face. The results are more likely to be accurate if you're not wearing make-up (especially foundation), if you pull your hair back away from your face, and if you expose your neck and shoulders. Many people (like me) are redder in the face than the body and get misdiagnosed as having cooler skin. This can lead to catastrophic results. I know, because it happened to me. I was diagnosed as a Summer because my skin is lighter than the human mid-point and appeared pinker because of extra blood flow to my face caused by unhealthy skin conditions. Pink skin is cool skin. Peach skin is warm skin. For 30  years, I stuck to the Summer color palette, which is kind of grayish. It looks great on someone with delicately colored skin, but I'm a Spring. My colors are light and clear. They're basically the simplest Crayola colors. They don't look loud and garish on Spring people. They look like they're equals. Summer colors look colorless and drab on me. No wonder I couldn't find a date.

I also attached the document that should have accompanied my post in the first place. If you read this far, know that words cannot completely express my appreciation.
