Help with a Christmas Present
« on: Saturday 21 December 13 23:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.

Was hoping to get some help with a late idea for a Christmas present. I have this photo of a customers family who are about to start their own Christmas celebration by putting a pig on a spit.

Would love if someone can do a cleaned up black and white version and a coloured version.

Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Nick...Not a coloured one but the next best thing a sepia toned one.

Thanks to Carolyn, Tommy and Steve. They are just what I wanted.

Just a note after I got a couple of pms after they were confused by me doing this for a customer. My business has nothing to do with photography. Just a long term customer who had a small version of this photo and I offered to scan it and get her a larger copy. Thought she would get a buzz with a cleaned up and coloured copy.
