I've noticed recently that any celeb who looks lighter in pics are always tagged bleached.
This thread however is a reply to this Thread. It is also meant to enlighten some 'semi-literate' people on this forum.

YVONNE NELSON



-Check Yvonne Nelson's pics; There is no different in those skin tones. the 'before' pic was taken under a darker light with a black background. In the 'after' pics, it quite obvious she's a black girl. No one will even see that and say she's Caucasian, All i see is a glowing black skin not 'light skin' as they call it. (though she has always been a little light)

-------->
Same thing here; Variation in lighting. Daz all.

will anyone who sees this , say she's light skinned? That's freaking black! lol

RUKKY SANDA


-Rukky Sanda's 'then' and 'now' pics have the same skin tone. All i can see is that; There's too much 'pan-cake' in the 'Now' pic.

RITA DOMINIC
-To start with, Do you realise the first person here [img]http://3.bp..com/_fKlFT2ZbIt0/TH-SoxhGcoI/AAAAAAAAAJY/XFjymSbkWJM/s1600/rita1.JPG[/img] is Dakore Egbuson Akande?

Then again, comparing a movie caption to a real still picture is quite ridiculous (will explain more on that later)
anyway, You and I know both the 'before' and 'after' pics of Rita Dominic is not her skin tone.

She was never like this [img]http://3.bp..com/_fKlFT2ZbIt0/TH-SoxhGcoI/AAAAAAAAAJY/XFjymSbkWJM/s1600/rita1.JPG[/img] and she was never like this .

This pic was probably taken from all those 2002 digital cameras that always make you look darker and uglier .

TONTO DIKE

-Just like I said, comparing Movie caption to a still photo is ridiculous. Why? cos most times, their skin tones in movies are their real skin tones.....not the altered Still Photographs.
So it's better you post two pics from a movie or forget comparison. Besides, the 'After' pic has obviously been filtered



The only definition of 'bleached' on that list is this

AND maybe this

The rest is all bullshii

PHOTOGRAPHIC FILTER

In photography and videography, a filter is a camera accessory consisting of an optical filter that can be inserted in the optical path. The filter can be a square or oblong shape mounted in a holder accessory, or, more commonly, a glass or plastic disk with a metal or plastic ring frame, which can be screwed in front of or clipped onto the lens.

Filters modify the images recorded. Sometimes they are used to make only subtle changes to images; other times the image would simply not be possible without them. In monochrome photography coloured filters affect the relative brightness of different colours; red lipstick may be rendered as anything from almost white to almost black with different filters. Others change the colour balance of images, so that photographs under incandescent lighting show colours as they are perceived, rather than with a reddish tinge. There are filters that distort the image in a desired way, diffusing an otherwise sharp image, adding a starry effect, etc. Supplementary close-up lenses may be classified as filters. Linear and circular polarising filters reduce oblique reflections from non-metallic surfaces.

Many filters absorb part of the light available, necessitating longer exposure. As the filter is in the optical path, any imperfections—non-flat or non-parallel surfaces, reflections (minimised by optical coating), scratches, dirt—affect the image.

There is no universal standard naming system for filters. The Wratten numbers adopted in the early twentieth century by Kodak, then a dominant force in film photography, are used by several manufacturers. Colour correction filters are often identified by a code of the form CC50Y—CC for colour correction, 50 for the strength of the filter, Y for yellow.

Optical filters are used in various areas of science, including in particular astronomy; they are essentially the same as photographic filters, but in practice often need far more accurately-controlled optical properties and precisely-defined transmission curves than filters exclusively for photographic use. Photographic filters sell in larger quantities at correspondingly lower prices than many laboratory filters. The article on optical filters has material relevant to photographic filters.

NB....I know there are people bleaching in Nollywood/Ghollywood, I'm only clarifying the inaccurate criteria being used to throw accusations around.
