Thanks, Judy & Tina
I enjoy this type of challenge, especially if the photo has meaning to someone.

Tina, thank you so much for the piece you made for my wife. Donna loved what you did and the text was wonderful also.

Dee's younger sister passed away a few months back. I made this for the family. I made it 13x19 because that's the largest my home printer will print.

Judy and Tina: Thanks for the kind words.

Family members seemed to like it too. In fact, several of them asked for a copy to taken home with them.

Russ & Donna,
Hope this correction helps. I realize that there are still some problems. If I work out a better a solution, I will let you know & send a link .

If anyone is interested in take image from here to create some art, please do. I'd love to see the my flaws camouflaged - maybe with Fotosketcher, Topaz, VP, etc.
I appreciate Russ & Donna sharing their treasured images. I learned a lot from working with both. Hopefully, I will find time to smooth out the problem areas, but I am working with some OPR restorations that I need to submit soon.

Nice job on the restoration. I have not had time to play with this one yet. Maybe I will just hijack your work and see what else I can do to it. Nice job on the mouth replacement and those wrinkles in the photo are very time comsuming and take a while to do. This challenge seems to help with the winter slump most of us hit.

Looking forward to your art. In case you have a problem downloading from the Pixentral gif, here is the single image (retouched).
