I'm sure the grandparents will love them Phil, I'd edit out the grey though (assuming you were after a white background) :)

I've quickly gone over this one

Ditto, real cuties ... especially on a whiter bg, gives the pics a bit more 'pop'! :thumbs:

what gorgeous grandchildren! You cant go wrong with photos to show off the grandchildren!

Digital photo frames have become such a popular present for grandparents as they can be constantly updated with photos!

I went round my aunties the other day and she had one for her birthday with all her grandchildren on.

Trouble was she is in her 80s and couldnt even work out how to turn it on let alone start the slideshow :thinking:

you cant beat photos of the littlens for grandparents, they love em! Nice shots, just need 30seconds each in photoshop i think to make them spot on. Try this if you have photoshop:

Open image
DUPLICATE IMAGE
Ctrl + J (duplicates layer)
Click on 'blending modes' which is a drop down in the layers pallette
Set it to 'screen' (this will brighten the image up, maybe a bit too much so can be adjusted with the opacity % just to the right)
the go image-adjustments-contrast and up contrast slightly to get the look right.
Layer - flatten image - save as JOB DONE

let me know if you think this works

[philipfirth1983]

These are the results are they better?

Cheers

Grandparents are not going to be looking at the techy details of a photo. The grandparents are going to love these and you can bet your bottom dollar these will be on display to show all visitors to the house. As a grandparent my self I'd be delighted to receive photos like this as a gift. Well done.
