I don’t normally talk about production matters. But for this photo-comic I wanted to make the four figures in the foreground stand out. In the original the women in the background were almost as luminous as the four main figures. And thus they competed for attention with those four figures.
So I darkened all the women in the background—not a lot, but just enough to put them a bit in shadow. The one exception was the woman in the background just to the left of Chaplin. Her I darkened just a smidge. The way she grinned at Chaplin was just too funny to entirely lose in the crowd.
