Title: Wedding Table
Post by: david_gr on February 12, 2012, 12:08:39 PM
Hey folks, I need your opinion on this photo of a wedding table.  When I first started working on it, it appeared pretty straightforward but now I am not so sure.  I first thought the table cloth had no damage since the ribbon draped through it was pretty much undamaged, only a few spots.  However, when I tweaked the levels it seems to have brought out some more damage in the table cloth than I first thought.  What do you think?  :-\

Thanks in advance for any input you might give.

Hi David,

I don't think it is damage.  The ruffle of the tablecloth seems to be made of organza and this fabric can give some weird patterns:

Kiska, it would appear that Hannie got caught in the act of putting damage on the photo with a crayon. Another one of our secrets revealed.  :-[

David, it looks beautiful and I agree with Hannie---before the crayon.

So, Hannie. Is that fabric you have in your home?

Wish I could accomplish that effect with a crayon.

Oops, forgot to hide the crayon... now my secret is out! 
See what I had to revert to ever since Bambi took my beloved grunge machine.
