Who do you use to print B&W? My local print shop does not do very well with b&w shots, they seem to come out darker and with a blue tint to them. So I am looking for a good one to send online to.

Thanks to the help of a UHHer -terryMC - I am going to print this composite of my dad at age 8 then again at age 87.

Awesome!! Sorry I didn't respond earlier, had to take my hubby to the er today for a bowel obstruction and just now getting home.

Love this one, amazing skills you have!

Awwww.....Thanks!

Thanks!! I will do exactly what you suggested, the color and skin tone looks so much better in your edit.

It was fun but I wouldn't take another cruise. It was a large ship with about 7000 people on board (passengers + crew), we had 3 ports that we stopped at but we spent to much time on the boat. And since me and my hubby are not big drinkers or sitters - we got bored easy. There was enough entertainment on board to help keep us busy and the shows were good just not our thing.

Thanks and I just love that VA and their people. They really helped me get my dad situated this past month. 2 chair lifts (1 inside and 1 outside), better portable oxygen tanks, setup Companion Care which sends a person to the house 3 days a week for 3 hours to help him with whatever he wants (mail, trash, grocery shopping, laundry ect.), Setup Home Base Care - which this service is AMAZING!

Home Base Care consists of a team of specialist that will come to the house instead of him having to travel to the VA. Nurse comes in 1 once month unless she feels she is needed more, Dr will visit once a year unless requested more by the nurse. Then he also has a dietician, occupational therapist, physical therapist and a program called Deprescrib - which will look at all his prescriptions and work to take him off stuff that might no longer be needed.

Was able to get him setup with a close Lung and Heart Dr via the VA as well.

It was a busy month!

I know!!! I am working on it, talked him into driving thru Saskatchewan this summer, if that goes well, might be able to take more drives.

It was a fun trip.

I have been working on this for a few hours now, here is my 1st version. Any suggestions? Changes you would make?

I hope so!

We went on a cruise thru Carnival on the Mardi Gras ship at the end of January for 7 days. Stopped at Nassau Bahamas, Amber Cove and Grand Turk. Went with my sister and her family as well as other friends...was a blast hanging with family but don't think I would do another cruise like that.

After the cruise we went directly to PA to visit my father and the rest of the family. Hubby is from the same town and his family is still there as well. So it was busy visiting and trying to see everyone but I loved it.

Here are a few from the cruise as well as from one of the hikes we took in PA. I really didn't have much time in PA to get out and about. My dad is 87 and I was working on getting the VA to setup various benefits for him, so I was on the phone ALOT. But I have to say I just love the Butler PA VA center...they are amazing!

Amazing shot, love the colors and textures in this one. I am always in amazement when we come across these old carvings and paintings, so beautiful.

I would love to be able to combined these two shots of my father. The first one was taken when he was 8, my great uncles then had a painter commissioned to create a painting from the photo and it now hangs in the Moose Lodges in the state of PA.

I would love to take the original shot and superimpose my father at age 87 into the shot but I am no where near good enough with photoshop to do this and make it look professional.

Is there anyone on here that would be willing to take on this project? I am more than happy to pay for the work.

I have attached both the original that I scanned into the computer and a photo that was taken of my father just this past week.

Anyone willing to help?
