Touching Up Senior Photos I'm taking some senior pictures for my niece. How can we touch up her pimples and blemishes? My husband helped a professional, and he painted something on the pictures. What was the paint, or what cheaper computer program could I get?

Digital or film? If you are editing the photos digitally, I think the standard is Photoshop (and that is what I use). For touching up most of the blemishes on my seniors, I use the healing brush (and occasionally the clone stamp). The healing brush works miracles ...

I'm assuming they were taken with film if the professional painted on the pictures. With a very small brush? It was probably spot tone. It would be very difficult for you to use that if you haven't been practicing for a while. If you're able to have the pictures scanned, and you want a cheaper program, try PS Elements- it's similar to PS- it does way less, but for basic editing, it should work. This doesn't cost that much at all. And if you bought a scanner or printer recently, it may have come with the software bundle.

It sounds as though you are using 35mm film. Have you chosen images scanned to a CD. Some one hour labs now have the equipment to do that. If you don't have Adobe ask if the lab would do it for you. If you need adobe I suggest starting with Elements as it's very user friendly.
