This is the original old Christmas dinner photo. My brother is on the left. I'm on the right and our parents are behind us. I don't have Photoshop because it's a bit too expensive for what I'd use it for. I never learned too much about how to use the free GIMP. So what I did was to use the photo editing tool that came with Windows 10, and a few on line free editing programs like Paint.net, Fotojet and BeFunky. I used them one after the other and it works. First I cropped the photo to eliminate some of the image that I didn't want and make it sort of a portrait. Next I tried removing the old white specks that developed over the years. I removed a great many of them, not perfect but very good. I also filtered in a sort of sepia color. It helped hide the white spots and give the photo a warmer look. Finally I used a function to make it into a portrait shape. I wanted to frame it as a 5x7 but the photo printing site said it would no
