Mother-In Law divorced now and the only decent picture that she has of her brother happened to include her ex, so she was joking when she said if you can take that #$%@%^ out of my picture that would be great!

So this is my first attempt at this type of restoration, any hints, comments that may help would be great thanks all!

If the client is happy, you have done a good job. Sure everything can be done better by someone but we can't go through life thinking that way it would drive us nuts.
Well done,

Little rough. The curtains are not going to look right the way you have it now. The pleats don't line up right. The edge transfers are a little sharp. A softer edge transfer on the people will print better and look right. I think it would be better to use more foleage instead of curtains. More chance to hide things. My take is in the next post.

I see what you mean with your example about the foleage, and using that instead of more curtain.

Will give that a try...I asked my wife if it looked ok, I king thought the edges looked kind of sharp and such!

But you have given me a better view on it!

Thanks!
