Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
My brother took this photo, and it's the only one where the older girl, Hanna, is smiling...ever! I would love to surprise my brother with a nice print of this, but the sky is overblown, she has hair in her face, it's blurry, and there is a tremendous need for fill flash. Arghghghg. Anyone care to give it a go? When I try it, the faces get too orange.

Two beautiful girls with tremendous smiles. I can't PP worth a wooden nickle, but someone should be able to fix the sky. I wouldn't worry too much about the hair in her face, especially if it's a natural state, and it looks as if.

Thanks! :) The older girl NEVER smiles...and never hugs her younger sister, so this is a parent's dream photo! If only my brother knew how to use his camera, hee hee. (Shhhhh....don't tell him I said that!! :greenpbl: ) The younger girl is a ham, and I plan on taking tons of pictures of her when I visit them next month!
 
I'm sorry, but the sky can't be fixed, and you cannot create detail where information doesn't exist.
 
As I said

And as Sw1tchFX said

How about cutting them out and dropping then in on another backdrop? Maybe even the same location (if feasible), but on a better exposure? Just a thought, but what do I know.
 
Well you can make it exist. You could possibly fake it by taking another picture of the sky and overlaying it. But this is a touchy subject sometimes and may start the whole what are you, a photographer or a graphic artist debate.

Call it what you will, but it is the only thing that can some what save this photo. It is a mess, but with some more work we may be able to further improve it.

I don't know if it is any better I just thought I could give it a shot
 
holy crap...those girls are going to be trouble in a few years :lol:

very nice fix guys
 
Do you have a larger version? While someone can edit and re post this small version...480x600 pixels isn't going to give you a good print over 2x3 inches.
 
I didnt do anything to the sky....I worked on the oldests face.
