This page shows examples of the capability of photo editing software. My primary photo editing software is GIMP.
The first picture is the original picture. The second picture is after editing. Notice that the traffic light, utility poles & wires, road signs and vehicles have been removed. The name of the establishment was purposely blurred.
The first picture is the original. It was only 1" x 3/4" in size, was ripped and had tape on it!!! The second picture is after restoration.
The first picture is the original. Notice how the background was replaced with a picture of a flag, the Marine images were added and the “Semper Fi” text box was added with some slight transparency. All with the magic of layers!
