Photo Help.

DrummerDeanna · #1 11-14-2006, 08:50 PM

So I've got this picture of Mel Brooks and I - it was taken on an elevator - it's very dark and grainy and just not great...

I don't have any good photo editing software - I've tried all tools at my disposal..nothing works well..

So I'm wondering if there is a nice and photo-editing proficient LEdgie who can make the photo more clear and attractive..I'd like to frame it...

I'd appreciate any help - and I don't have anything of value (boots etc) to trade - but for your help maybe we can work something out like I can send you blanks or something?

If someone is willing to help a girl out - I would appreciate it greatly

Actually, I don't think it's that dark. It's not like you can't tell who it is.

Well I completely pissed off an NPR erm..I don't knwo what she does there - but she was charged with getting Mel out of the building -and I followed them

Eithe rway - he was incredibly nice and funny. He even tousled my hair as he left

I just wish the flash on the camera would have gone off - thus not leaving me with this cruddy quality photo.

That's actually a fixed up version - it's the best I could do - the original is way dark...

I think I've enough celeb photos now to start my "wall" ..and this March I may get to meet Lily Tomlin...so I'm already nervous about that one

OK, how many celebs have you met and had your picture taken with? That's pretty awesome....

It's become my hobby..

Here's the list thus far:

Ted Koppel
Mel Brooks
Bea Arthur
Sophie B. Hawkins
Carol Channing
Lindsey
BrettTuggle

and a bunch of NPR folks that most people don't care about.

Hopefully in the next year:

Lily Tomlin

There are others I met but wasn't taking pictures at the time -

Jason Biggs
Los Lobos
