I agree actually, it gives it an authentic "aged" look. But the man gets what the man wants.

I used an application called Photoshop, which gives you lots of options for balancing/ adjusting colours / light levels / hue's and tones.

I dont think getting the background white will work because you will still have the man it wont look natural

apology accepted zoombini.
i still think it looks better with the white background,my only point is and i don't like to criticise,its possibly a bit grainy the blueraja.but still when i see what youv'e done with it it still makes me go wow.

Thats the problem, if you try and change something too much it can become a bit grainy.

If you can send me as full size a scan as you can i can see what i can do with more detail if you like.

PM Me if your interested and i will give you my e-mail address.

AFAIK you can send it to photoprint.co.uk or somewhere similar & get it printed.

Try one




Try Two

sorry theblueraja i dont know how to scan the picture in to make it bigger.

sorry damien no offence but i still like the one with the white background by theblueraja.

ok dokey

manners, i forgot to say thanks any way damien.

I have changed the background to pure white but that makes the photo look very odd as you grand dad is the same and the background is white

hi damien what i'm trying to say is in theblueraja's picture my grandfather stands out more,it is more like the picture as i remember it in the 50's 60's 70's.the yellow colour as only occured in the last 10 yrs.

ok
