Hi Jenny!

I thought your version was lovely! It was really tastefully coloured. I think that you should re-instate it for those RCs who never got to see it!  :D

Judy  ;)
Best wishes, Judy :-))

jenny i did like yours, the colours were really nice.

i am greatful to all who have tried, i have no idea as to where to start with colouring and restoring photos.  iunderstand that you can only do so much with them b4 they look fake.

the last 1 you did mudge looks like an oil/pastel drawing and is effective from a distance.

thanks again

Like always, I'm hours behind everyone else. I've really got to learn to work faster to keep up.
Don't think I got the colors right and had trouble with those bows.

That's really beautiful colouring Nan  :D

I often take days (sometimes weeks) before I think I've done it OK ...

But I had a go at this one before, so that's why I was quick to post.

My flesh colours are beginning to look weird and I know that
when I upload there's a change in colour and density  :(

Thanks Rachel. It's good to know I'm not the only one who's slow at this.
I have the same trouble with colors. I've tried getting my monitor calibration right but I don't think it's ever quite what it should be.
I do wonder if what looks right to me looks completely different to everyone else, depending on their settings.

Mine looks as if she has five o clock shadow around the chin and I can't think what I need to do ....
rethink my whole approach I guess ....  :-[
