Photoshop Babies

Every year I've been doing slides and cards for Parent/Child Dedication and every year it takes longer than I expect to transform the pictures that the parents give me into something that translates well to the SD format. Here are only a few of the before/after samples from this year's lot.

Found an arm, color matched it then extended the background.

Doesn't look like much, but I tilted the pic, extended the background and added a filter.

This one was the most challenging of the bunch. Had to scan and fix a low res pic

I shivered in my damp clothing and stepped onto the glistening onyx ribbon of road to consider my options: one, follow it to civilization and risk running into Ted or his crew, or two, risk a slow death by turning from the road into the dehydrating desert.
