3. I apologize Safe as Milk. After posting, I edited image right away and should have just started over again.

6. Old photos can be impressionist.

Everything is there and well laid out.

You have a slight pink cast.



Other than that, it's a fine memory. Did you take a photo of a print?

[George McGovern]

8. Took a photo of a digital thumbprint. Thanks.

9. Wife has a B&W picture of her father.

In GI Joe dress, it was WW2 time after all.

Bit of a scan, some touchup, sharpen, contrast, brightness fiddle, attempt at colorizing, came up ok at A4.

Wife looks at the A4 print, remarks . . . Jeez, I can see each my 3 sons in that face!

Old photos - worth working on! Horse picture came up well.

10. Thank You Aussie105. What a wonderful outcome for you wife. Old pictures can hold treasures I think. Thank You!

11. What I see in that old photo

Is pure love. ❤️. And a memory that child will have for the rest of her life.

13. It was pure as driven now Diamond_Dog. Kate's eyes were half closed and at peace.

T'would be real neat if the little girl retained the moment.
