photoshop help please--warning: large image

[Bill V]

I was hoping one of you photoshoppers might be able to help me out with a small project.



The image below is a series of pictures of the members of my family (both present and future) as drawn by my 3 year old daughter, and then taped together by my wife.



We'd like to print it on our birth announcements for our baby, due in early April. But as you can see, there are lots of cut lines visible, tape, shadows, brown scanner border, etc.



Would any of you be able to clean it up a bit, so that it looks like a clean, single-sheet, borderless drawing? We definitely want/need to keep the color. And we need to keep good enough resolution for printing, not just for screen viewing.



The original scan is in my Library. I appreciate any help I can get. Also, if it's easier, I do have individual scans of all four images--but I figured it was probably easier to work with the single image.



Thanks in advance for your help! If you do get something done, I'd appreciate you e-mailing me the updated file at verkuilb at yahoo dot com.

So that is what you and your family looks like...Interesting.



J/K I think it is a great idea of putting it in your birth announcements.



Someone here will be able to hook you up. They always do.

Caymen--The thing is, that's what I really look like. A couple years ago, I was a float in the Orange Bowl parade.



Note: According to my daughter, the dots near the tips of her (and Mommy's) fingers and toes are "nail polish". :lol:

Looks like you got a couple already. Let me know if you want me to give it a shot.

Bpoche--Looks pretty good! I'll still likely clean up a bit around the top of "my" head, but it's now at a point where that's much easier to do in MS Paint, which is about all I have/know how to use. Thanks!



Bruce--checked my e-mail--I got nothing.

I sent it again. The one I sent before hasn't come back. Let me know if you get this one. I put it in my library also so you can get it if you don't get the e-mail.

Bruce, I've received one from you now--don't know which one. Haven't had a chance yet to look at it. But thanks for your efforts! I'll let you know more when time allows.
