BJD's and yellowing

[animeangel09189]

I know BJD's yellow over time that you can prevent it and that white yellow's faster then normal my question is is it visible in pictures? For example my Teayang todd has some weird kinda blochy iesh marks on his left or right side and in RL it looks pretty bad in the light but


in photos you obviously can't tell (other then the marks from his goggles but I know there from the google so its not as bad
is BJD yellowing the same way? can you only tell in RL and photos are fine? because I think I'd be one or those people that wouldn't care about yellowing as long as it didn't doesn't hinder the photos so would it?

yellowing doesn't really bother me so long as its even. Some people even prefer to yellow the doll on purpose to get a creamier color. I've never had any dolls that had yellowed unevenly but I've heard it dose happen. I think that would probably bother me. In general the way I look at it is eventually no matter what the doll will yellow so you might as well accept it and enjoy it. Kinda like age it'll always waiting for you. And just like wrinkles yellowing can be beautiful. Two of my kiddos are pretty yellow and sometimes in the pictures you can tell but if I don't like it I can always tweak the colors.

Yellowing does sometimes show up in photos, and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on a lot of things... how severe it is, what color the doll was originally, what tone the doll yellowed to (some 'yellowing' appears as green tones), the lighting, the color balance, how even it is, etc. Yellowing varies from company to company, and even from batch to batch within the same company. I've seen some dolls that have yellowed in only a few months, which is extreme but can happen. On the other side, my DZ girl is going on 5 years old, and I only knew she was yellowed when I compared her face to the inside of her headcap. And even that might be just the sealant used on her faceup.

Ah, yellowing. Reason #14 why I prefer vinyl to polyurethane.

That's not yellowing. Pullips are not made of resin, they are made of ABS plastic, which does not yellow. Only resin yellows. It might be sealant getting blotchy, or staining, but it is not yellowing.

So long as it doesn't go crazy banana yellow or green, I'm personally fine with the aspect of yellowing. What does bug me is the thought that a head or some other body part is made of a different type of resin or material and they won't yellow like the rest of the doll. There's always blushing but I'm just weird so...yeah.

I know that I wasn't asking that I was asking if yellowing shows in photos when it comes to BJD's I said " I know BJD's yellow over time that you can prevent it and that white yellow's faster then normal my question is is it visible in pictures?" and then I said " For example my Teayang todd has some weird kinda blochy iesh marks on his left or right side and in RL it looks pretty bad in the light but in photos you obviously can't tell (other then the marks from his goggles but I know there from the google so its not as bad is BJD yellowing the same way?"
I know he is not a BJD but if I just asked "does yellowing on a BJD show in pictures" someone might not know what I meant so I used my teayang as an example that in RL he has sploches but in photos you can't tell and well is it the same with BJD's
so far everyone has under stood thanks to my example I think

Same so long as it's not visible in the photos and exactly would that show horribly in photos? and your not weird I'm the same way which is why I asked the question X amount of months in advance of getting the doll lol

Will it show up in photos? Like anything else with dolls, it depends. How yellow/green are they... do they have lines, etc. For example, if the doll is always in the same short sleeved outfit and ends up in the sun... you might end up with lines that will show up in photos. Or hands may yellow more than the torso that's always covered, that sort of thing.

Also things like the lighting of the photo (the light fixture up in my loft is VERY yellowish, makes it look cozy, but photography up here sucks), what clothes the doll is wearing (white might make the color difference more obvious) if they are standing next to a non-yellowed doll...

There are so many variables that a blanket statement yes or no really isn't possible. We know resin will yellow with time, if we take precautions they won't be banana yellow. All else fails... Photoshop! ^__^ That's how I 'fix' the yellowish pictures caused by my poor lighting!

Hello.

That's not yellowing. Pullips are not made of resin, they are made of ABS plastic, which does not yellow. Only resin yellows. It might be sealant getting blotchy, or staining, but it is not yellowing.

Uhh... wait.
That is more slow than resin, but ABS plastic turns to yellow with time (and UV maybe).

Last weekend, I have sanded my "usual exhibition" dolls. (The right is before sanding, and the left is after.)
I had sanded same doll 3 years ago.
