Title: Photo improvement great aunt Stella Sanderson please
Post by: Jaca on Tuesday 21 November 17 11:01 GMT (UK)
Could some kind person have a go at improving this photo before I have it printed?
I would like the dark area at the bottom adjusted to match the rest of the background.
And, if possible, probably tricky, the removal or softening of the horizontal lines across the central area.

I can't see how to reply to everyone separately.

Thank you Handypandy! Great background and the lines are gone with the face being changed. Very natural.

Thank you pablo59! Wow! This is a work of art and probably better than the original (photo, and perhaps model, too!).

Thank you japeflakes! I really like the second one; the way you got rid of the lines over her face. Hardly any change, just the lines are gone.

I'm glad someone suggested I upload here! Now I just have to make my choice...

Many thanks also to Pat/Trishanne (I really like the one in warmer tones!) and Peter/McGroger (another work of art - I wonder if she really did have green eyes) for your help.
I am really spoilt for choice now!
