of course your allowed to be honest, I wasn't a big fan to begin with but sometime it can make a great-grandparent more life-like especially in the formal studio photographs. I never use them to replace the original just to add to my view of the person in it.

That's really good, and very subtle. It looks like an original hand-tinted picture.
