And found the program, gimp-2.10.exe, and chose this as the default. After I selected it, the path for that program shows up above the "Image Editor..." button, seeming to indicate that it is selected.
However, when I go back to my PDF, open the editing tool, select the image and either right-click or select "Edit Using..." from the side-menu, Microsoft Paint is still the only program it shows in the drop down. And if I select "Open With...", navigate to GIMP in Program Files, and open it that way, then when I try to save the changes I made, it won't update the PDF, it will only save as a new, disassociated image.
Would you mind sharing the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the version 21.05.20058 installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates and reboot the computer once.
I am using version 2021.005.20058 of Acrobat DC Pro. I restarted, then did the repair, then restarted again, checking after each to see if the problem had resolved but it's still the same. My issue is on a work computer, and as such I have no access to the AppData folder to do the restore preferences proceedure you linked.
If GIMP doesn't play well with Acrobat, are there any freewear photo editors that have do? While I need better than Paint is capable of, I don't need top of the line, I mainly need to brighten and adjust the contrast of low quality scans.
We are sorry to hear that. You may try using the Adobe Scan mobile app (Freeware application) to scan any document and turn it into a PDF file. You can adjust the quality of scans and all the scaned document are saved on document cloud ( ) and you can download/accress them on any device.
You can edit an image or graphic using another application, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or Microsoft Paint. When you save the image or graphic, Acrobat automatically updates the PDF with the changes. The applications that appear in the Edit Using menu depend upon what you have installed and the type of image or graphic you have selected.
Corseting and tiny waists have been back in discussion lately, primarily due to Cathy Hay's excellent post about the importance of viewing the past and present objectively, particularly when it comes to corsetry and fashion. Here is another great write-up about corsetry myths. If you haven't read these articles, stop, go do that, then come back here.
We tend to look at photos from the 1860's-1910's and think, "wow, women had such small waists back then!" This look is especially extreme right around the turn of the century, when the "S-Bend" shape became the silhouette of choice. But these women were not all that different from you and me. My great great grandmother wore corsets. Four generations is really not much in the context of human evolution. So--how did they do it? They wore corsets from a young age, yes. They sometimes employed bust and hip padding. A few did tightlace to extremes. However, the story does not always end there.
It is well documented--but perhaps not as well known--that photo editing was extremely common in this period. Technique manuals and guides were published for portrait studio artists. Editing involved scraping, drawing, and painting directly on the negative. Common edits included smoothing of skin, softening angles of collarbones, shoulders, and faces, and removing blemishes. What, you didn't really think your great great uncle George had perfect skin, did you?
Once we know what to look for, retouching becomes quite obvious. It is there in the smooth cheeks of Edwardian women, in the impossibly sloped shoulders of debutantes, in the famous waist of Polaire. She is often used as an example of the "horrible" torture that women supposedly endured.
Out of pure curiosity, I decided to employ some old fashioned retouching techniques to one of my Worth Gown photos. The results are fascinating.
This photo was taken in 2017. I am wearing an S-Bend corset with a 4" waist reduction, about twelve (!) shoulder pads pinned to my hips for padding, and a bust improver. This gives me a difference of almost 20" between waist and hips--which is pretty extreme already. I am "lucky" to currently have a figure that is similar to the Edwardian ideal, and I acknowledge that it does help with this illusion. In full disclosure, I have a 22.5" corseted waist in this photo. That is measured over the corset, but not over the gown. If I took a measurement over all layers, it would probably be closer to 24", a far cry from the legendary 18" waist.
Left photo: Color, lighting, and contrast have been edited. My figure is unedited.
Center: Showing where the waist would likely be carved in by a turn of the century retouch artist
Right: Full set of edits meant to mimic Edwardian beauty retouching
I was really surprised to see how "right" the last photo looked, even though it is clearly a fantasy. If I waist trained regularly I might be able to get down to that size, but it is unlikely. Polaire did waist train, and most of her photos were still retouched.
My takeaway from this little exercise is that we should be kinder to ourselves about our figures in general, and especially when it comes to wearing historical costuming. The camera has been lying since the advent of photography. Now, we use filters, photoshop and facetune to correct perceived flaws. We're not all that different from our ancestors after all, are we?
