Hi.

I just got the heart breaking news today that the gentleman that grooms our Samoyed Leah (the brat) passed away after a short (8 week) brutal battle with bone cancer. I have some photos here I would like to fix up to give to his lovely wife but there is a bright sun glare from the flash bouncing off the car right were he is sitting that I would like to remove and generally improve the photo so he can be made out better if it ispossible. The original focus of the pic was the dogs swarming Al (and food) so it wasn't a problem...then. But John always was an onery chap but so brilliant with dogs that my timid shepherd...or in this case black samoyed, would fall asleap on the grooming table. He would groom them a bit then let them down to play then do a bit more. They had sooooo much fun. I think these are some of the last pics of him so healthy. 

Any hints would be so welcome. I only have PSP 7 so anything that can be modified to suit doing in that is great.

Thank you all in advance.

Yes that is me in the window too....sigh!

So sorry to hear about this.

I love Samoyeds, they are so beautiful

thanks so much newleaf it is looking a lot better. I will post a larger image tonight. What is a good size and which pic would be best to work with?? Can you tell me what you did so I can try it on the originals?

Thanks Stacy, Sammys are so beautiful....brats....but beautiful. The groomer was so good with them I think he had white fur in his veins. Jenn

Jenn,  what I did was in CS2 and it was not done very well , but I hope working with a larger file will make it a little easier.

 Come on you guys surely someone can do better than I. Give the girl a hand.

I will send you a message Jenn, see what we can do

White vignette ?

Oh! OH! OH! I am so sorry all, I think I may have mislead you somewhat without even realising it! deep purple blush David (I always call him John for some reason:^{ ) is the one sitting down. The one feeding the ravenous hoards is my hubby Al and he is alive and well....hang on...yep! (whew) just checked and he is watching the tennis with Leah the Brat (our Samoyed) firmly in pat range. I have pointed a big green arrow at the chap in the pic below and you can see why I need help. The glare is just drowning him out.

I have loved the results, Pat (Newleaf) especially,  you have been a champion and Onslow your work is not in vain as it is so pretty that I have a shot of thier favorite Sammy - Nanook that would look awsome in the Vignette. Alan and Bambi (our Shepherd) look really nice there too. I will have to show it to Al.

I really apologise if your help has been lead astray but I was a tad upset at the time and could only think of getting my friends to help me on this one.

Could I get you to kindly have another shot??? It is difficult with him being in the background there but the original shots were of the feeding frenzy, not of David and Rochelle.

Thank you all from the bottom of my white fur spattered heart.

Jenny.

Here's another pic that I found , same problem though.
