Thread: Can you do a quick edit for me? (pic on post #5)

Hey ladies! I like to lurk on this board because there are so many talented photographers! And, there seems to be some great photo editors, too!

I was wondering if anyone had a few spare minutes to help me out. I took some photos with my cheap crappy P&S and the only one that came out decent (ie: all 5 kiddos are looking at the camera) has a few issues. I am going to upload the pic in a few minutes~my dinosaur of a computer is doing a virus scan right now (I am on hubby's puter). The things that need to be fixed are red eye, a light spot (not sure what you call it, but a circle of light that looks like a floating bubble. LOL), possibly adjusting the color, and maybe my 6yo's fly being down. I am debating on cropping her lower body though...

Can anyone help me? I can e-mail the full sized pic in a few minutes...

Thanks so much!

btw, I am planning on using the pic for our holiday cards.

when you can upload it, I'll have a look.

I'll take a look too, Pam. you can always grab my email from Facebook and send it to me too.

Can't wait to see Pam, I don't mind having a look, playing with other people's shots is a good learning tool.

Sorry it took me so long to come back...

Now, I know this pic is not good in so many areas, but it is the best one I have to work with. Any hope?



The circular thingamajig is on the kiddo that is being held's butt. The kiddo holding him is the only one that does not have red eye. The kiddo on the right has her zipper down. But, I am thinking of cropping it to landscape, so that may not matter.

I can e-mail the original to anyone willing to try!

Hmmm...looking at it, I guess that I wouldn't be able to crop it, as it would cut off too much of my 2 year old. I just don't have the time or energy to take more pictures. Bah!

I emailed it back to you. and I'm cracking up about the zipper because I fixed it before I even saw this post!

Here's my play.

Oh wow, you guys! THANKS SO MUCH!!! You are too funny, Gwen. After going through over 30 pictures and only finding this one where they are all looking and not making a crazy face...her zipper being down was the 1st thing that I had noticed. I was thinking of nixing my holiday photo cards altogether though~so thanks for saving the day, ladies. Well, that is, if I have your permissions to print??? Pretty please?!?!

Of course you have permission to print! I already e-mailed the full size version to you if you are interested in using my play.
