Mom in Print Dress (Restored Photo)
Originally uploaded by randubnick.
I was looking for a nice picture of my mom, and I found a snapshot that I liked in an old album. I especially liked the patterns in black and white. But there were some problems in the original photo: lots of clutter on the coffee table, and in the background, and even an upended porch chair visible though the window! But I really thought the snapshot had potential. So I scanned the photo and opened the image in Painter IX. I used some cut and paste to get rid of the porch furniture, and digital airbrush to neaten up some stray marks (and while I was at it, her cigarette). Then I cropped the image to get the composition that I wanted.
