You guys did such a good job on the title "Can someone help repost" at improving an image, I thought I would give you a new challenge. What can you do with the attached image to make it look better, younger? (Not my real Grandmother :-D ). Thanks.

Is this an image you took and if so can you post the original (when you upload click the save original box).

No offense Hohimer, there is no amount of beer in the world to make her look younger. Even photoshop has it's limitations,... maybe a time machine. LOL....Sorry.

She does kinda remind me of my late grandmother.

What about the 'closing time' paradigm? :-D

If it is not yours it is against the UHH rules to post it, and it's against copyright laws for anyone to edit or alter it.

Incorrect.

Anyone can edit or alter it, but copyright law prohibits publishing or selling the revised image.

I like that photo as it is. Her expression is very enigmatic.

But then, I'll bet she earned every one of those wrinkles. :)

But it doesn't show much personality. The best way to improve the photo, IMHO, is to add some kind of context. Jewelry, glasses, a scarf, a flower, whatever.

The photo is fantastied as it is. I would like to see it in b&w. The white hair and the mid tones should make a stunner.

Well I was going to say something much worst but, I highly doubt closing time would make any difference. Even if I was having an "unlucky" evening. I'd just have to settle for a lot of beer.

It is a nicely composed image though, but I'd have stopped down the aperture a bit to increase the depth of field making her necklace and blouse clearer on the left side.
