Hi Artists. We found this old picture of a kid about 4 or 5 years old. I took a crack at it and did a before and after. The org photo was very faded. I used multiply layers, levels, curves, color saturation. sharpening and a few other things. Go for it if you want. I took it as afr as I could and it was fun project in Photoshop 7. Regards steveb

Hi Folks. Thanx for your nice comments. Someone asked about the blue overalls. I selected them with a tight pen tool, saved path, put on own layer. Desaturated, then filled in color mode with the sky blue color to keep the texture. I scanned org pic on an Epson scanner at 600 dpi to capture as much detail as possible. regards steveb
