My background in painting, photography and Adobe Photoshop, has given me the skills to sharpen blur of faces for more detail. I can correct damaged, faded, scribbled - on, or torn photos. I can restore or change colors, remove a background and change it to a new one. I can seamlessly remove any unwanted parts of the photo or add something or someone. I can also create an  enhancement to eliminate perceived flaws

for a very natural looking improvement.

When I receive a photo, I scan it and evaluate it to determine if I can fix it. Nine times out of ten, I can, or at least I can make it better. When I zoom in to 400% I can go over every fraction to remove marks that should not be there. I can remove scratches and stains using virtual tools. Healing brush and clone tool are 2 of my favorites in Photoshop.   Using these tools, I rely on my skills from years of practice in effective application, using the right size of brush and percentage of pressure. I also work with low opacity layers to give my work richness and luminosity. The painting with pixels technique I have developed has given me the title,

“Pixel Paintin’ Mama”. 



I love doing this process and welcome new work.
