Thanks for the suggestion Denn - but I don't seem to be able to find anything like that. I am definitely a beginner when it comes to actually working to change a picture.

I do know how to make a simple collage by just using cropping, copying, pasting, and manouevring the photos around. Add softening the edges, and that's been my limit until today. Today I have learnt to use the eraser and the cloning tool!    :D

I've been trying things out and this is what happened when I used Auto Enhance.

Denn - nothing like that number of "buttons" on mine - it is very basic. Think I'll have to investigate other options for photo editing at some stage.

Thanks for trying to help.

What a wonderful photo and idea.   I wish I had photo's for 8 generations but I don't.     When my first grandaughter was christened we did one of 4 generations,  this as given me the idea of adding my grandmother who I do have a photo of.   Watch this space.   Thanks for the idea.,
