Hi Ken
It's got, paper size (which is on A4), then portrait, landscape and mirror image.

No fit to size....although it does have that on the MGI photoshop I have.....but how do I transfer it to there?

[b]I've done it/b] Yippee!  I used my noggin and copied and pasted it to MGI photosuite, then I resized it to fit, and it's come out absolutely lovely....

I can't thank you all enough.....I am going to frame it for my sister-in-law for Christmas.  She will be over the moon.

You are all so kind and lovely.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards

Had a go at colouring your pic...smoothed out faces (prob too much) and added some colour...Still a novice so havn't mastered eyes and skintones.... left textures as is as I like the effect .....work still to be done .....colouring in ladies blouse and staircase.

Nice work RK. Colours are really natural.

Was going to post my final version but its not a patch on yours -
...still trying to come to terms with eye's, skintones, saturation, etc etc (endless list)...................hopefully, I may get there in the end.

Would think Sue will be more than pleased with your pic.

Thank you, Skippy.

Experimenting with this one, but not quite pleased yet. So the pic above is an
"if you can't make it, fake it" version: Blended to warm sepia, hoping a slightly
faded yellowish look would hide the worst flaws. A cheap trick but it didn't turn
out too bad. It masked an ingenious blue cast in the catchlight along the fathers
shaded cheek for instance.. like there was a neon light somewhere outside view
of the picture Smiley

How timely can it get.. they barely had lightbulbs. The first tungsten lamp went
into production in 1910 (trading under the name "Mazda"). It was the strongest
they had at the time, with a very warm/yellow light.

I would like to say a HUGE thankyou to all who have contributed to making this photograph so lovely.

I printed all copies and chose one for a gold frame A4 size and gift wrapped it for my sister-in-law for Christmas.

She was absolutely thrilled to bits with it, and has placed it on a set of drawers in her bedroom.

I have given her all the copies (well kept one for myself) so she can swap them around.

Thank you all once again.

Happy New Year

Kind regards
