I still use paint.net (getpaint.org) a free app based on the original Microsoft paint program which was included in all versions of Windows. It has many features suitable for editing and improving photos.
The basic method of adding another person to an existing group is to use a Lasso Tool to surround the figure of the person to be added and Copy & Paste it into the picture of the other people, and while it is still selected, resize it to match the others, then use the Move tool to position it. A bit of crafty blending of the edges to make it look more natural after you have 'flattened' the whole image lets you then adjust for Contrast, Colour and Black/White levels etc!
Why not post 2 pictures and the Restorers can work their Magic, and show you how it was achieved, keep taking the tablets, cheers, Ian

Facebook recently started this 2 step verification with illegible scrambled letters and numbers often making me go through the same procedure several times and also emailing me to confirm that it is I who has signed in.
The Buffs, (my local football team) has a Facebook page and when I click on their link the opening page offers me the opportunity to Sign into Facebook, without 2 step verification, and after checking the scores I click on the 'home icon' and I am into my Facebook page, without verification. Some security system eh!? is it AI?
cheers, Ian

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Catherine (Kate) MORIARTY Dingle, Kerry Ireland
« on: Sunday 05 January 25 11:30 GMT (UK) »
I received a brief reply from Dan Moriarty, fuller details soon though.
"There are lots of Dan Moriarty’s in Kerry. Dingle is about 50 miles from where my grandfather’s family originate from. "
We took a Coach Holiday 10 years ago to the South West of Ireland and noticed several shops with the Moriarti name. It's a pity Dan's father Dan has passed so I can't ask him of his memories of their Irish origins even though he was also born in Scotland.
cheers, Ian (possibly a distant cousin through marriages)

My youngest sister is married to Daniel Moriarti (y). His father was also Daniel, owner of 2 shops in Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. Although Scottish for several generations he has cousins in the Dingle / Kerry area and his Aunt, who is into Genealogical Research, lives in USA. I have emailed him the link to this thread, perhaps there is a connection ... cheers, Ian
