Dear all,

Would anybody be kind enough to try and make the attached photographs presentable? The first one is paticularly rough while the second only needs the little blemish centre left removed.

Any attempts will be gratefully received.

Best wishes

Marc.

Marc

Took the easy option on this one. I am sure someone else will have a bash at them.

Ken

Just like Kenhar, I did the easy one first. I fooled around with the colour channels to fix her skin tone and also put a bit of a blue cast over the stools and Christmas tree. Seeing Kenhar had done the hard yards on the first picture I used his version to adjust the skin tone and I put a new background to give the picture a bit of a lift.

Dear kenhar and Deadants,

Thank you enormously for taking the time to work on the photographs, your efforts are marvellous and very much appreciated.

Trying desperately 'not' to sound like I am taking liberties, would it be possible to reduce the thickness of her hair/shadow on the left side of the photograph and then slightly increase the shadow where her stomach is as she's actually pregnant in the photograph. (Thats me in there ;D)

Don't worry if not as the image is far better than I expected already.

Best wishes

Marc.

Hi Marc

Is this any nearer to the original?

Blimey, I'd got so side tracked working on another job I forgot about this one. My apologies Marc. I will definitely get onto it tommorrow. But kenhar may have it just right, only you can tell.
