baby bump couple.

[Leon]

After my baby bump attempts last week my Friend Chris had a go on his own, after a couple of hours cursing and swearing he came up with this

 

 

a fair effort for someone with no idea, I like it, but the date stamp, the background ect had to go.

 

I had a play in CS2 and here's my edit....

 

 

I couldn't get the end of his little finger right!!  but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it

where do you want me to start?

 

'shiny' faces, missing finger, bleached out vest - fine for a 'beginner' if that is how you see yourself?

As I wrote Colin not my picture just my effort to rescue it :)

Shame about his finger. Pity you couldn't have selected and copied the good finger, then reversed it onto the bad finger.
I've never tried it, but I have read about it being done.

Maybe you could use the ( I think it's called the liquid tool,) or the distort tool to get it to fit properly.
I think you did a pretty good job otherwise, Mr W.

The date stamp was always going to be a problem, but I think you did a pretty good job on it, as you did generally on the 'recovery'

May be they intended that the date stamp was to be a reminder of when the photo was taken, especially when showing it to the child later on in life.

It's a feature I'd be glad of right now, as I'm scanning prints from the 80s and 90s and some I can't remember 'when' or 'where' at all! I wish there was a way to show it unobtrusively though, say on a border when printing, rather than on the picture itself.

They have the original so they can keep the date if they want, personally I think they ruin any image

that's my point Leon - you missed the flaws and created another
