A special request
« on: Friday 16 February 07 00:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi everybody,

This is Sam Abraham, a pastor who we have known for about 15 years. Tonight we received word that he has passed away from congestive heart failure.

This picture was on the family website. I took it directly from the site, so who knows how it was scanned. If it's possible, could some kind soul take the ugly background out and make it just plain, and do a kind of oval shaped frame? I'd like to give the picture to his widow and make a few copies for his friends here. It doesn't have to be fancy.

Many thanks, much obliged.

Hi China,

Best regards George
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

Thank you very much George, I like it. The frame picks up the flowers on his goofy shirt :D

My apologies and sympathy China.

This doesn't have a plain background as you requested  :( but I did achieve the oval  ;)

Here's my attempt anyway
