Help With Photograph Background If Possible Please....COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 26 April 11 06:24 BST (UK) »
I have a photograph taken at one of my parents' 60th wedding anniversary celebrations, and I'd like to use it in DVD I'm making about their life together as a couple. The DVD is a surprise for their 70th wedding anniversary, which is coming up in a few weeks' time.

While I really like the photo of my Mum and Dad, the background is very junky, and I'm wondering if it could be changed so that what you really see is just my Mum and Dad.

I'll really appreciate any help, and I do have a bigger file if that is of assistance.

I thought it was rather special, Mare......just didn't like to use it with the junky background. At that time they were still playing tennis every week, and they had a celebration lunch in the clubrooms.    ;D

Hippy and Carolyn have made a vast improvement.   :D
