The overall color saturation of the image looks much better too. Should reproduce well. You should have both printed at your local photo developer just to show her the real-life comparison. :)<br><br>The only thing I would question is the artifacting going on in the sky and faces -- a result of the source photo, or final jpg compression perhaps?<br><br>Overall, an amazing job. Your mom should be thrilled! And congrats to her as well. :)Columbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09376294610920125521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450808110059863576.post-26817232130483716362007-06-20T13:43:00.000-04:002007-06-20T13:43:00.000-04:00Yeah, the sky bugs me too, and I didn't take t...Yeah, the sky bugs me too, and I didn't take the time to smooth it out. <br><br>I think the artifacting is a combination between camera quality (hers is 4 megapixal point and shoot at <i>least</i> 3 years old), and the moisture in the air. <br><br>I did a little smoothing out on their faces, but didn't want to do too much. The picture was VERY noisy while veiwing it at just 100%.<br><br>There were so many other things I was trying to fix that I let the sky slip, but looking back at it now, I wish I would have smoothed it out.<br><br>Glad you liked it.I.
