>>1682482I haven't been on in a while because school and work and shit so I can't speak for the amazing people like SpettroFX and the other anomalous and other anons contributors, but I generally just brown the image to the description that the person wants it. When/if people ask for darker hair or lighter hair I will make the picture have darker/lighter hair. If all they say is brown it X amount I will just do a quick brown. Sometimes people are more specific and want the palms or soles of the feet lightened a bit to reflect how darker skin actually works in real life, this looks good on some pictures, but if the picture is very simple vector image then trying to add a lighter layer for palms and feet make the entire image look cheap and badly edited.
As for ganguro and stuff. I never liked seeing that stuff in this thread, there are always threads on /d/ that have bimbo and ganguro stuff. But browning threads have almost always just been about very simple image modification of color.
Image linked is just that, edited a image and the person wanted it lighter skin and black hair so I did it that way, other one wanted dark hair and lighter soles so did that too.
OBVIOUSLY everyone has their own opinion, this topic is just brought up about every brown thread or so, so nothing new.
