Looking for a guru.....
I'm in dire straight trying to find someone, or how, this picture (a print) from my Christmas past, can be brought up to reproduction quality. I'm hoping for the background to be removed, the gloss and shine from the picture and print to be eliminated, red eye gone, etc....
I will be in your debt, if you can help in anyway with me achieving this hope 
Here is the picture of me, my wife, and three of my four children....
Thank you!

Re: Looking for a guru.....
with some photo editors you can paint and eventually airbrush the background if you want. i spent about five minutes and got this for erasing the background....is this sort of what you are looking for?

Re: Looking for a guru.....
Haha, if I told you I'd have to... Ah alright. I used photoshop to blacken the background then applied a lighting filter to give a "spotlight" effect. Also tweaked the color, brightness ect..

Re: Looking for a guru.....
I guess the question is...........
How in the heck did you get a woman as beautiful a she is to marry you and then where did those beafutifuy kids come from..........
Me thinks you did some photo magic on the first pic......:tongue:
Hope someone here can help you. A very nice picture of a very good looking family. You should be proud.
Merry Christmas
