JFlah's Blunders

Each year I have the privilege of making HD slides out of photos that parents send in for the Parent/Child dedication. I extended a lot of backgrounds this year but this one was one of the most challenging. Thankfully, this year, I didn't have to add any elbows or shoulders.   This is the original   And here's the finished slide - painted in the bench end and some bushes/grass Probably should have done something about the overexposure on her skin - it was a bright day but it turned out cute.

 Got to do some photo edit and general restoration this week. Here are some before/afters. Even though I've been doing these sorts of things for years, I find that I still have lots to learn.

A friend brought me an old photo to digitally restore. Was pretty moldy, faded and such, but the final turned out pretty good. Here's the original scan:     This is the photo after the color correction filter. Had to fix levels, white balance, etc.   Then remove mold and scratches and dust one click at a time...   Fix the sky color and add sharpening and viola - almost new.
