Can any photoshop wizards or artistic talents help me with something personal for my DH and MIL?

[ImTheOnIyUpsyOne]

Posting here and in AIBU for traffic.

My DH’s beloved Grandad is 84 and very unwell- he’s currently receiving palliative care and we don’t expect him to last much longer.

My DS is the first (so far only) grandchild/great grandchild and thanks to covid GFIL has only met him a couple of times. The most recent occasion was early July when MIL took DS with her to visit GFIL in his care home- we didn’t know it then but that was going to be the last time GFIL saw DS.

While they were there MIL took this lovely picture of them both. The only thing is that GFIL still has his walking frame in front of him- she’s said so many times how she wishes she’d moved it out of the way, and that it spoils the picture for her.

I’ve made several attempts at tweaking the picture myself with the very basic software I have on my laptop and I’ve also had a go at drawing it, but I have all the artistic skill of a drunk elephant, and so far haven’t really been able to produce anything decent.

Is there anyone out there who could have a go at magic-ing away the walking frame somehow? I’d love to be able to give MIL and DH a nice framed copy that they can keep.

I don’t have a lot of money to throw at the problem but happy to pay if anyone could recommend a reasonably priced professional.

Thanks.

Aw what a gorgeous picture. I’d love to help but I manage to cock up copy & paste so photo shop is well above my capabilities. I hope you find someone who can do this for you x

You could try Reddit- r/photoshoprequest seems to specialise in exactly this type of thing. Good luck OP x

Thanks @ticktockriojaoclock will give that a go.

Giving this a hopeful bump for you!

Try Facebook 'photoshop requests' groups, someone should be able to help.
It's a beautiful picture

Try messaging James Fridman on Twitter or Insta, he's the one that's famous for trolling people by photoshopping things that they ask for but in a funny way - he does occasionally do a 'nice' photoshop for people though, if you explain the backstory though so he doesn't do a piss taking one!

If reddit fails take a look on peopleperhour, I know you said you don't have a lot of money to throw at it but I reckon you'd get a good outcome with minimal budget

I'm no expert but I'd be happy to try - Photoshop does have some handy 'make things magically disappear' tools!

No idea ! Hopefully someone can do it on here or Facebook

If your on facebook you can ask in this group and it will be done

I am asking a photographer for you

I hope you manage to get it sorted. We had something similar with my DNan and DD. Didn't realise it'd be the last time she saw her.

@ImTheOnIyUpsyOne I have someone who can do it, is there anyway you could email the original photo so it's higher resolution? I can PM you

That's a beautiful picture, I hope someone can sort it out.

@NotMyCat I’ll ask MIL to email it to me, I just have it saved from WhatsApp

@ImTheOnIyUpsyOne fab, drop me a PM when you have it and I can get it done for you

@NotMyCat have PM’d you, thanks!

Beautiful picture and a beautiful thread OP.

Good luck

@ImTheOnIyUpsyOne it's with two photographers so I will send them both when done as one might be better than the other!

How have you got on @ImTheOnIyUpsyOne?

@Goofers will hopefully have something soon!

@ImTheOnIyUpsyOne did you get sorted? I can do this for you on a hi-res photo too, lo-res attached.

Well done @puddlebubble! I've had this thread on my watch list, hoping OP has found someone to do it.

I was just thinking that. He does really good photoshopping, but you'd need to explain you don't want a funny one, and I don't know if he does that.
