Here are just a few examples of photos
that I have made various changes to.

 
 
             
Above, left, is an original photo of my grandmother, Anna, and her sister. Anna is at the right. My Aunt wanted this photo of her mother (Anna) by herself and also made larger, so she could see it better.
Above, right, was after I removed the woman on the left. Without making huge changes to the background, since it was mainly black on the whole left half, I kept the picture narrow and then I glued lace all around the photo. Then I framed it and added more lace, a ribbon and dried flowers, to give a little more antique look. Finished photo at the right.

At right is another idea by making an oval vignette which could also have lace added or even a background color.
