8. The finished picture shown in an added graphic frame

Editing photographs, and improving composition

It's not just missing parts of a photograph that spoil a great picture, sometimes it's an object in the wrong place, or someone you would rather not be there! You can't go back and take the photo again, but at Restoring Your Past we can do our best to edit and alter your image, so it's now the picture that you really wanted to take.

Another great example is here in the main gallery

First steps in the sea... Lovely picture except for the two people in the background!

The original scanned photo, then extra background space added to the left so that the composition can be centred, followed by creating the background to fill that extra space, the two unwanted people in the background removed, and finally the surplus shadow removed.

4. Removing the unwanted two people
