Hi all I have been away for a few months due to a unexpected bypass surgery. Tough thing to go through but getting a little better everyday. My niece asked me to do a 50th wedding portrait but I havent mastered the gimp program yet as I fell sick but if anybody has a little free time I was wondering if you can get me going. I try to get to the garage for a couple of hours everyday when I have the energy so this project will get me going if someone is willing  Thanks so much  Damian :)

Roly, did this take you a long time to do or is it fairly straightforward and quick using Gimp?  Since your turn-around time was so fast,

I assume that it was not a great deal of time for you. 

 

My 50th wedding anniversary is coming up soon and I don't think that I have the time to learn Gimp before it happens.  That being the case, would you entertain a request to creat a pattern for me to use from a photo that I would supply?  If you are willing to undertake this, I will make a suitable donation to the charity of your choice.

Thanks Roly, I really appreciate that!  Now I am trying to pick a photo and I don't know if the photo that I have in mind will even work for this type of thing.  I'm attaching a photo of the two of us taken at Niagara Falls I n the hope that it will be OK.

 

If that photo won't work well, just what characteristics should I be looking for in a photo that is to be used a the source of a scroll saw pattern?

Wasn't easy very grainy, so this is the best I could do perhaps the others might have a go to give you a choice.

Thanks for the effort and for the very fast turnaround Roly.  Except for Margaret's mouth, it looks good to me.  I will see if I can fix that.

 

I'm afraid that it is likely that all the photos I have from the 1960s are likely to be grainy.  I will look for something better but I have my doubts that I will find anything.

Blimey Frank didn't notice that, so modified it. Roly

Not my best. :D
