50 years & counting







It's such fun to look back.. way back in this case! I got this tiny 2x3 image of me when I started high school. (A friend was doing the 50 yr class reunion "news" booklet for the class of 1960) and I got access to a couple of goodies..

So what do I do with those tiny but precious images. Well, look out Photoshop E. 6.0 You are gonna get a work out!.


on the right>> is the scanned image..8.5x11 - I'm the 3rd one down from the top.. one image of me has a wet spot on the chin.. the other is pretty grainy. I went with grainy.. crop, straighten and play with the extra features in the "tool" menu!! You may get something you really want to KEEP and SCRAP.







It's still pretty grainy.. I did scan it at 600dpi.. reduced that to 300. but still lots of pixel to work with. the far right is "pinlight" and I really like that look.. I'll add a Hue to match my background page and scrap it!! I'm 14 in this photo..
