Week 79

Sorry to be AWOL for so long, but the last months have been really hectic. I've been taking online courses, plus working some on a temporary, part-time basis, and traveling a lot. Hope to begin to catch up now, though, so here're week 79's lessons.

Tutorial 1

Removing a Paper Pattern from a Scanned Photo

I scanned one that had this problem once, but cannot find it now, so I used the one in the tut.

Tutorial 2

How to Quickly Correct a washed Out (overexposed) Photo

I'm not really sure this is overexposed, but the technique may (or may not "LOL") have improved it. This was last November at a celebration for four birthdays - hubby's on August 21, granddaughter on November 16, son-in-law on November 18, and mine on November 20. I think you can figure out who is who. We celebrate in Missouri with our son when we go there for Thanksgiving weekend every year.

Tutorial 3

This was made in our square dance room kitchen when we had a square dance and party several months ago.

Tutorial 4

I did this for another group a couple of years ago. The kitten is one I scanned from a birthday card my hubby received. Kitty was so cute, I just had to use him for this tut.
