I call it Photo FUN! ... some might call it the unthinkable!

Have you ever wanted to turn an ordinary photo into something EXTRAordinary? ... or needed help tweaking the color or brightness?! Do you have an old photo that was damaged, torn, wrinkled? You know that it can be restored, right? Maybe you've thought about removing an ‘old flame’ from your otherwise favorite photo?!! What about creating a fun invitation or greeting card using your own photo, ... or a new and improved version of your photo? Most of us have found a favorite tool by now to do simple red-eye removal or cropping --- but are you up for a total transformation or restoration of your photo? It's ALL do-able!

I'll bet there are SOME photo enhancements that you never even thought of ... for example:

Removing a distracting object or person from a photo
Isolating the subject or group and move to another background
Retouching blemishes and imperfections
Brightening teeth
Smoothing skin tone, wrinkles and fine lines
Removing stray hair, stains or wrinkles in clothes, labels, tags, logos or other distracting elements
Reducing or removing unwanted reflections in glass or shiny surfaces
Sharpening the focus and creating a blurred background for up-close shots
Converting to sepia tone or black & white: a favorite for weddings and portraits or MY personal favorite -- creating a custom greeting card or invitation using your own photos
