Perhaps something challenging. I have photo here taken during a photoshoot. Unfortunately it started raining and the dress got wet in some parts (clearly darker). Any idea how I could modify the color of the wet parts to match the dry parts?
Thanks a lot in advance.
It’s hard to help without seeing the photo. Maybe you can upload at least a crop of the most affected parts.
Good point. Please find attached a crop.
Thanks a lot in advance for any ideas.
I fear this is a lot of manual work. I don’t really see a chance to use masks on this. I have made a quick and dirty edit in darktable:
Maybe that helps. Anyway, I think it’s hard to get a perfect result.
Thanks a lot. I will have a look at the xmp files and your efforts. Great!
just embrace it and add more smudges all over the dress? 
I tried colorize module and a parametric mask…
With colorize
With several attempts I sure it could be improved…
wow, that’s great. Do you have a xmp?
@priort wow! That looks really great. I will give it a try.
Its at home now but I will post later…going from memory I sampled the dress in the colorize module (323 hue or so??) and used full saturation, tweaked brightness to match by eye. I think the mix slider was zero and the mask was done on chroma with a path looping the dress in to confine the mask to the dress… Little bit of feather on the mask… not much more I don’t think… I will add it to this comment when I get home tonight…

I think you uploaded the wrong xmp.
Anyway, I tinkered yesterday a little bit on my own. That’s what I got. I think the colourize module is indeed the weapon of choice:

I would be anyway still interested in your xmp. Just to have a look how you masked the darker areas. My method seems to me quite inelegant.
Shoot…Sorry I had two and i must have grabbed the wrong one… I will update later…
Thanks a lot.
I have been busy at work the last couple of days. I only played a bit with the colorize module and your proposed approach. It seems like a very good solution. Thanks a lot.
I will look at the xmp and also post my results later today.
Even so the results look similar, that’s a much better masking and handling. Indeed.
