| | | I thought this would look good in Greyscale. I kept the Green channell and discarded the others. I then adjusted curves to add contrast. |

| | Thanks Craig.
This is such a wonderful and precious picture , it speaks volums for the human soul. It is just a simple and beautiful expression of love, no one could have set this up as well as you captured the moment of such a touching scene!!
Sometimes we get into restoration we tend to not look into the actual beauty of the moment and picture!!

| | | i guess that wasnt very clear. the 'i like that' was referring to the overall. the 'edges and framing' was just an extra on top of the other.

| | Thank you Ro. I am a firm believer in keeping photo's alive in the real of the time. As I learn to restore old pics better it is my heartfelt goal to keep them as origional as possible. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Love Neb |

| | | Very good work by everyone , especially the rationale that went with each improvement.
This question is for Kraellin and Legacy Art. Where did you get the great frames ???

| | | Cinders - I made the frame myself, Duplicate layer of your picture, then get the poly lasso and do a smudged looking frame around your picture,. Click Select and then Invert the selected lasso, get the eraser and rub out the part we don't want, meaning the outer part of the picture. Once that as gone you just add another layer, put a backing of your choice i like adding a canvas with texture, then merge, once you done that you get the smudger and blend in your painting or photograph with the canvas background, there ya have it! as for the frame i just add stroke a colour of choice.
Hope this helps i am no good at giving tutorials. |

| | | Giving it a try
Thought I would give it a try. I think this helps to narrow the focus of the photo. |
