Freckled photo

[Beth]

Newbie here with my first photo.  It didn't look like it in the photoshelter gallery but this photo is covered in "freckles".  I don't know the best way to try to remove these. Is it acceptable to paint over them like I have done?  Or am I just in over my head?  I don't want to put hours into a process that won't be acceptable.  Thank you for your insights!

Beth, not sure what the original looked like but if what is now smooth was freckled like the lower part you did an amazing paint job!  It looks very natural.

Thank you Hannie.  :)  Yes, the entire photo is covered in these splotches. I'm going to keep going and see what happens.

You've gotta watch Margie and Tess.  They like bringing out the blotch, mold, and scratch machine.

Looking great so far.  I look forward to seeing the end result.

I'd like to know where they keep that machine.  We could smash it!   :funny:

You wouldn't be the only one!!   :knuppel:  I've been looking for it for a decade now!

I don't know where Margie and Tess keep it but it looks like this:




They also have a portable one that only Mike knows how to use:

LOL  LOL  Good thing I didn't have coffee in my mouth.  It would have hit the keyboard!  That's hilarious, Hannie

Beth, here's a couple of old backgrounds you may want to keep in your files.

Great backgrounds Candice!  Unfortunately it won't let me download them. It says downloading is disabled.
