Looks like I'm the first car to pull up to the garage!  Cheesy

I took this a few years back but just scanned the slide today.  There's a number of issues here, particularly that pesky tourist in the background!  I didn't do anything to this in PhotoShop Elements at all.... have at it and make her better, won't you?

Hm. Looking at the photo, I just got the feeling that colors were too distracting from her really pensive mood. Here's my two cents:

Photoshop CS2, channel mixer, levels, curves, brightness/contrast, rotating



and cropped, since I wasn't sure which:



I think I like the square better...

Wow you guys, you've blown me away!   I think the last selection is a perfect combo of them all, Mike you've made her look like a creamy Rollei maiden.   Lovely.

Thank you all!  Feel free to continue to edit her, any of you who are interested....

Maybe you won't mind one more.  I've lit her face a lot more, probably too much.  And I've taken some other liberties (her mole is gone...).

Zen & Raid

I'm doing this in the spirit of the kid's game "telephone": a message is whispered by child no. 1 in the ear of no. 2  who, in turn, whispers what he/she understood  no 1 said, then whispers the message into no 3's ear, etc, etc.

So, I took Raid's larger sepia--the last of a chain of interpretations-- and  converted it into b&w and did some local brightening and darkening with PS 7's magic wand and selected three colors for a tritone rendition. I was aiming for a soft, warm, image.

Could I ask... how specifically did you remove the girl in the background? The other modified versions have wobbly fence-posts, yours are straight. I've tried using clone-stamp for something like this and can't make it clean like this. Sad

I want to thank everyone who participated in our little experiment!  I think Mr. Kovacs captured the image that is the most appealing to my eye and the one that I would have liked to have taken.  I thought you might like to see the original and his side by side:

Thanks to everyone who helped edit/build her!
