Here is my latest restoration, a panorama. There where 4 pieces to assemble, unfortunately there was also some glare caused by the photographic lights to deal with.

here is the result:

I think it could be cropped a little more, it's hard to get it level and you can actually see where it was spliced together originally. It all depends on the final printing size if imperfections will still be visible.
Thanks for looking :loveit:

The girl in the third row from the back... 14th from the left hand side.... I think you made her earrings look too dark. :D ;)
Excellent work!

Hi Gerlinde,
I totally agree with RT! Now why didn't you see that yourself?
Just kidding Gerlinde! You have done a truly amazing job restoring this pano, can't believe how good it looks!
:wnw: :wnw:
Hannie
Gerlinde,
Great Job! Out of curiosity, how large was this picture?
Margie
Wonderful job GP :up:
:up2: :wow: :hug:
They are fun aren't they!! I'm working on the second pano. This one is of the officers but I'm enjoying it very very much. Yours came out great!!
Thank you all so much, my friends for the nice feedback! :loveit:
Rockthumper, you almost got me there, I started counting the ladies in the back. :wow: ( and welcome to the forum! ) ;D
MarCat, I'm not exactly sure about the size of the final pano. It said in the picture title 40 X 16. But all the pieces were only about 9" in hight ( at 300 dpi). After putting it all together it is something like 32 X 9 ( at 300 dpi ). If they print it at 240 dpi ( I think that would be standard printing resolution) it will end up being 40" x 11".
So I will be sending it back since you all like it the way it turned out. :up:
Thanks again
Gerlinde
Hi Gerlinde
I think you did an awesome job on this monster, other than the major glitch with the earring that RT pointed out (we're gonna have to watch that character, I think he's going to make life quite challenging!)
What's freaking me out is that this looks exactly like a pano I have of my senior girls' choir, and I swear I recognize faces. I'm going to have to dig mine out of my who-knows-where-they-are old photos and see if I'm imagining things.
Well done!
Glenna
Thank you Glenna!
Let me know if you find your pano, if it is in better shape than this one we can send it to Christine in stet.
I guess you are right about RT!
I loved your Biloxi Beacon but I'm still waiting for a group picture.
Gerlinde :hug:
Your wish.....................

Wow, Kiska
how did you get this? Did you go on this trip too? I recognize Glenna ( even she's not wearing her OPR t-shirt ), Dave and Mike, who are the others?
Gerlinde
Hi Gerlinde --
I haven't seen this photo either. kiska has a secret source.
The people in the photo are, left to right standing, Christine Pentecost, Mike Morones, Val Horvath, Lauren Terry, Angelina Medina, Glenna Boyette, Jan Neil. Kneeling: Dave Ellis.
I have to say I think we're all better looking than you'd assume from this image! I'd guess (at least I hope!) we're victims of more creative mayhem!
This was one of the goodbye shots in the Office Depot parking lot. (Waaaaaaa!!!)
Glenna
Yeah, I figured Kiska has been messing around with the photo. ::)
I have seen some of the other pictures she got her hands on! >:D
Thanks for putting names to the faces! You all look a little sad...... But from reading all the reports you must have had a great time and a lot of memories for the times to come. :)
Gerlinde
Gerlinde, it was VERY hard to say goodbye. There's no way to describe how wonderful this team was. I wish we had Ed and Big Mike in the photo with us, but they'd already headed home (at least they're in many of the library photos). And Rusty, who took this photo, was a great team mate as well. He was on assignment for the newspaper, but he still took good care of us when he was in the library. The camaraderie was something I'll cherish for as long as I live! Not something from which one easily walks away!
