My dad turned 71 on the 15th, so I put my Photoshop abilities to use to make him something special - I resized it down to make it Web friendly, as the work is a 16x20 inch photo print at 300 DPI resolution.
Unknown to him, I sourced the original photos, restored them, cropped them to line up their profiles, enlarged them to 5x8 (possible as I scanned the sources at 2400 DPI.) from wallet sized images and photoshopped the background details from web sourced data.
Left to right : brother-in-law, brother, dad, and uncle. Though his birthday has passed by, we should be doing something this weekend and he will get the framed work then.- I suspect he will like it as other than the original wallet photo I stole, he has no photos of his service. It took a great deal of work to fix his image as well as my uncle's as dad's was discolored to the point of being brown, and uncle's was a barely visible faded black and white(well, yellow and brown at this time), and the finish on it crazed. I re-colored it to mimic the uniform's original shade of green after fixing as much detail as possible. Brother-in law's photo had this horrible 80's silhouette thing going on, which I eliminated during processing.
Wait till mom learns I stole her wedding photos too
