Hi Damien,
I was hoping you could help me identify what is causing the weird pinkish blotchy texture/colouration in my images when I use the paintbrush tool to soften my backgrounds. I can't always see it when editing on my mac, but then when I upload the image to Facebook it is very obvious. I have added 2 seperate images with the same issue.

Hi Natasha, as you've found out, using the brush tool on backdrops is fraught with danger.  I always recommend using other methods if possible.

May I see one of the photos you've had trouble with?

[Natasha Dickie]

Both of the images attached have the issue.

Sure, here's the first one:

Yah, I can see those ones!!!

The bulletproof way to prevent it is this.

Great. Thanks
