I assume you realize that you are asking to have professional level (but fairly boring) work done for you completely without charge, and with almost no benefit to the person who volunteers to do it.

You may get lucky and someone who needs practice, or simply feels generous may come along and help you out. This happens more often than one may think. However, if you don't get any responses in a reasonable length of time, and you really want this work done, you may want to consider having your request moved to our "freelance / fee-for-service" section:
https://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-freelance-work-fee-for-service-section-/

If history is any guide, I will bet you that if you post your request there, someone will respond very quickly. The suggested rates are a tiny fraction of industry standards -- read the sticky FAQ posts in that section for more info.

HTH,

Tom M

Well FG, that being said, why don't you give us the benefit of your expertise on what makes them bad. Granted, whoever made them didn't know much about lighting. I'm sure the OP is just trying to recover a bad situation. Anytime I see anything that includes one of our soldiers or vets I want to try and help out and these are probably all that are available for which is most likely a separation about to occur/
Sorry to tell you this, but those pictures are not very good.

My friend was taking pictures of us together, they weren't posed or supposed to be professional or anything. I just really liked them and wanted to print them out since he left yesterday after his 10 day leave. MY Marine and I really appreciate you taking the time to edit these for us. Next time I hear from him I will definitely show him how much better they look! Thank you so much !!

Last pic is an old gif I can't seem to remove suggestions?

LOL...yeah this has caught me out before too!

Here's what to do...

1. Go to edit your post as usual...
2. Go Advanced...(You should see a list of attached images just below your post)

3. Make a note of the image you want to remove....you'll have to do this by eye as there is no relation between the post attachment number and the actual filename....so just remember which image it is.
4. Click on 'Manage Attachments'...

5. At the bottom of the window you'll see thumbs of the images which are attached to the post...
6. Hover over the thumb of the image you want to remove and a microscopic 'X' will appear top right...

7. Click that 'X' and you'll get an alert asking if you want to remove the image as an attachment......click on yes.
(If you can still see your post behind the window you should see the attachment disappear from your post.)

8. Click on 'Done' in the attachment window.
9. The attachment should now be gone from your post......click save as usual.

I think that's all, my apologies if I've missed a bit out, its difficult to remember all that without actually going through the motions.

The reason this happens is when you remove an attachment as 'inline'...(delete it from the post), it then automatically gets added as just a regular attachment TO the post, rather than IN it.
You still have to remove it via the 'Manage Attachment' routine above to entirely remove it from the post.

Hope that helps.

Regards.
MrTom.

I just used a simple Curves Adjustment Layer and isolated the couple with the mask, I added a clipped HueSat Adjustment layer on top of that to tone down the saturation.

The biggest problem is the size of the image.
At 128Kb it's to small to print.
Can you get the original full size images from the camera?

The image can be fixed in Photoshop but fixing these won't get you a decent image to print.
I've brightened the shadows and doubled the size but it's very poor quality,

Steve,I assume your speaking of the resolution. The physical size of this particular image is like 7.3" x 9.7" but a 72 ppi resolution, which would not yield a very good quality print. You make a good point for sure.

Of course, you can't print at 72.
At 300 it's 2.4 X 3.2

Well you could..you just wouldn't like it very much. You could put one at 300 in your billfold :mrgreen:
