Not sure if this is the right place to post this, move it as necessary.

I need a bit of help to "doctor" a photograph. Its nothing untoward! I'm not well up on Photoshop or anything and haven't the time to learn, although I plan to make time one day. I have a photo of a group of happy children sitting on a wall. Except one. One little boy has a grumpy instead of a smiley face, and it upsets his mother and ruins what is otherwise a great shot. I was wondering if its possible to give this poor little boy a smiley face (

), and make a mothers day. Again, I have no idea if this is even possible or if I'm even asking in the right place. But I am asking. haha

Thanks!

Email me the image and I'll see what I can do...

Calinerti · Sep 4, 2003, 01:57 AM

I sent you an email of the URL where I have it kept. Couldn't find you address listed or a way to attach, so.

Thanks Dom!

Calinerti · Sep 4, 2003, 02:11 AM

Done deal, and thanks again.

Dom · Sep 4, 2003, 02:53 AM

A bit too complex for me, sorry.

Calinerti · Sep 4, 2003, 03:02 AM

No problem, thanks anyway. I have no idea even of how complicated a process it would be.

Do you perhaps have another picture of the same child with a smile? It may be able to copy match and layer it ontop somehow...

Wildchild

Thanks wildchild! I have emailed the image to you, hope you can help out.

Judas

Only been using photo software for 2 months?!? Great sigs! You must be a fast learner. Thanks for your efforts.

the_penguin

Thanks for trying! The eyes ARE very sad, I suspect a smile looks just wrong on that face. I really appreciate you having a look.

Did I mention everyones awesomeness?

WildChild · Sep 10, 2003, 10:27 PM

Check your mail Calinerti

Calinerti · Sep 11, 2003, 12:18 AM

Great job, wildchild! And so quickly! He definitely looks more presentable now. Many thanks! I am sending it to the little girl sitting beside him to see if it will work. I think it should!

Again, thankyou.

WildChild · Sep 11, 2003, 01:58 AM

projectHUMAN · Sep 11, 2003, 10:10 PM

Don't want to sound mushy but this thread brings a tear to my eye. Not that it's sad but it's nice to see people help each other here. *sigh* I love this place.
