Anyone willing to help a desperate mom? - 07-28-2008, 10:07 PM


Hello,

Haven't been here in a while and forgive me if this is out of line but I have a photo I need fixed and I still haven't learned the photo shop software I purchased a year ago.

I need this photo of my daughter to look as good as possible. She has food on the left side of her lips and it just doesn't seem real sharp.

I would pay for these services if that was possible, I need it asap for a contest. I wondered if there were any photo fixing experts out there that would be willing to help?

Thanks!

Pam

Oh my gosh, I'm shocked...they are gorgeous! Thank you so, so, much! I swear I have spent time trying to learn photo shop and just end up frustrated. I am amazed at how quickly you did that.
Thanks again!!

Is this for a contest? Do they allow entries that you had help on?

It's for a contest but not a photography contest so no, it doesn't matter if I had help with the picture.

Just a tip, if she's wearing some sort of strapless shirt, you might want to zoom out a little bit... it looks like she's naked

Thanks... - 07-29-2008, 10:48 PM


Thanks Sonny, that is gorgeous!

Jenny- Actually, if I know my daughter she probably was naked at the time, she is two after all

I hadn't even thought of the "naked look" problem but maybe cropping up closer to the neck would be less "obscene". Thanks.

After all the "fixes", it still looks like red eye to me. Might be my monitor.

Luis,
That is a great version of the photo, love how the eyes pop. Thank you!

Deanna,
Just curious...since your comment had nothing to do with the photo itself was there some hidden agenda behind it? Not sure that saying a 2 year old doesn't look like a two year old is a very positive remark. FYI: She has naturally very long eyelashes and very pink lips. There is no "beauty queen wanna-be make-up" going on here. Just curious...

I'm sure Deanna didn't mean any harm by it. She was just surprised. My little girl is 2 too and I thought your little one was older. Nothing meant by that. My little girl doesn't nearly have yours's hair. I wish she had that much hair! It's adorable!

And yes, I totally know how 2-year-olds are. Mine is naked as often as not...no, maybe more often than not. Still, I try to not put any naked pics on the web anymore. Much as we still think of them as babies, other people might not. There are some scary people out there... Just a word of caution as I'm sure you understand. Then again, I'm a paranoid mom about pictures.
