    Here's the original photograph of my Great Grand Uncle, on my maternal grandfather's side, John Wesley Steelman.
    Steelman,-John-Wesley.jpg

    I had to do quite a bit of editing on this photograph, but am very happy with the results. Here's my layout.

    I have a ton of heritage photographs and like Lynn's idea of a book of 40 or 50 Favorites. This is one entry for a book for my brother and sister. I adjusted lighting and obviously, recolored the deer.

    Yes! I got a surprise when I clicked on your original photo. LOL! There is a crowd in that pic, but you selectively cropped out the others. Perfect example of what you can do with your old photos when you are zeroing in on a particular relative (or relatives).

    Here's my page. The photo is damaged, but I thought I'd scrap it like it was. I used Finnfara, the June 2020 challenge template and Explorer Pocket Bits.

    This is a photo of my parents (on the right) with my aunts and uncles. I cut away the sides and top of the photo to make sure the focus would be on them, by removing the distractions. The photo didn't need much correction, just to be darkened which I did using a blend mode. There was a blemish on Aunt Edie's front teeth which I fixed using the healing brush tool.

    ♥ I love to use my heritage photos! they are very important and precious to me ♥
    so thank you for the wonderful Challenge!
    the photo is from 1903 and it is really made of sturdy cardboard and below is the place that the photographer wrote on it and on the back my great aunt also wrote the date
    It shows my grandmother with her two sisters.
    I love the photo very much!

    This is a scan of a photo from 1997 - my dad.

    I adjusted the levels of this scanned photo to make the colours stronger as the original scan was a bit washed out.

    Fun challenge. Here is my photo. Walker Family Photo lightened.jpg
    The photo dates back to about 1860 from Staffordshire England. This photo shows my great, great grandparents before they left England with their family to follow the Morman pioneer handcart train to Utah with others.


    And here is my layout:

    How fun to scrap this old photo (I might have to start a heritage album - oh yeah I do) and Lynn's patterns are just the ticket.
