I need some help
Aug 28^th, 2008, 12:17pm

The original photo below is signed in pen and I want to erase the ink. I bought the best ink removal solvent today but it did vitually nothing.

So Plan B is to do it digitally. Since I am only a hack at graphics editing, I wondered if any of my fellow artist would volunteer to help me out. I would email you the hires version and have you do your magic to remove the ink digitally and make it appear like it was never there. I'd like someone who does this sort of thing routinely and has both the tools and the talent.

I'm willing to pay, say $25, (via paypal) for your time if requested. Please contact me through my store.

Thanks!

I have sent it to one of our noted "Pros" who contacted me directly, so thank you Sally and Phrank for chiming in. I may need this kind of help in the future as well. TOM

The image need it's own Internet location (URL) and needs to be less than 550 pixels wide. I place my images in a directory I have out there on the web.
The URL needs to start with http:// .

Then, in the post, simply insert this line:

[ IMG]URL[/IMG] but without the SPACE after the first left bracket. The URL is the address mentioned above.

Use this trick sparingly and wisely, because GCU can block our use of it in the Forums if we get too crazy. It is a helpful way to communicate issues like I have above to express my need for help.

TOM

wow i wish the ones we had done for the katrina victims had been that easy... it was 3 years ago today hard to believe.

i joined a group of photographers and digital artist and we began restoring and repairing images that had been damaged by the hurricane.

unreal damage, sand, water, mold, dirt and mud. it has been amazing to see what could be accomplished. wedding, births , photos of loved ones who died in the floods. etc thought to be lost forever.

sorry didn't mean to hijack... it just made me think about them. i have been on hiatus from the project and really hope there are no new ones added this next week thanks to Gustave
