VickiLH315 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi Damien, My friend's Mom passed a few months ago. A few weeks ago she came to me and asked me if I knew how to fix her favorite snapshot of her and her Mom. I foolishly said "Of COURSE!" I have tried everything my pea-brain knows. I can't fix it without a face swap, which then turns her favorite picture into a different one. I was hoping to pay you to fix it. i know you used to help people and fix things if they paid, and I am HAPPY to because I care about my friend. I don't have anything but my friend's verbal permission to alter the photo. And I have the print. Can you help? Thank you for considering it! ~Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi Vicki, do you only have a print? I mean, do you have access to the original? (Digital file if it was a digital photo, or negative if it was a film photo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello, Thank you for your time. I will ask my friend if she has the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello, Thank you for your time. Yes, I only have a print, it was back before digital was used in that particular family. I will ask my friend if she has the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 She just got back to me. She does not have the negative. All we have is the print. I could mail it to you? I know you're in Australia. I don't care. I just want to do this for my friend. She's had a rough few years. Thank you for any time you can give this. Happy Father's Day Damien!

Damien Symonds Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hang on, let's not do anything crazy. Do you have a professional scanning service nearby to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 I didn't even know there was something like that! I will look. I'm sure there is. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Yes! (But you would know there are places that do this). There are photo scanning, and document scanning type places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Wonderful! Please download this document and take it with you when you go. Insist that they fulfil ALL of the requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 (Sorry I missed your above reply earlier.) I will take the instructions and the print to someplace tomorrow (Weds) when I'm out, and then contact you again when I have the digital version. Thank you Damien! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiLH315 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi Damien, Sorry for the delay. I took the image and your instructions to a local lab and they said there was nothing they could do. He said there wasn't anything to pull out. I'm going to look for another lab/scanning service even if I have to go to Tucson (about 2 hours away from Phoenix.) I'll get back to you when I have something else to share. I am leaving town for 10 days for my friend's son's wedding but I'll be back about July 12th. Thank you! ~Vicki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
