Can you remove the red filter on the ‘Silhouette Challenge’?
TikTok users have been increasingly concerned about people removing the red filter on the ‘Silhouette Challenge’, which would essentially expose a lot of women’s bodies online.
It all started when people on social media warned that red lighting isn’t difficult to remove when editing.
However, according to a number of reports, there’s no way of actually removing the red filter from the TikTok video, as it gets blended into the clip when posting.
With that being said, there are some people who can use various editing techniques to cancel out the red colour and expose the original videos, so you should still try your best to be careful when taking part in the challenge.
PSA: if y’all do the #silhouettechallenge please do not do it completely naked. Long story short, red is a primary color that can be easily removed with video editing. If you don’t want your naked highly visible butt shared on the web.. you know the rest
