Cathy, that was my 1st thought upon seeing the photo also, but the last time I did that on FB, I got yelled at for changing the photographer's pic. :(

Exactly!
You have to be careful if there's a copyright on the picture - I don't think there is one in this case. But a copyright prohibits adjustments. Also if the artist/photographer is still around they may take offense at playing with their artistic license.

I know, I've been on Flicker for years. I really didn't do anything other than auto adjust. If they take offense I'll delete my photo and then get off of this page.

Peggy Boyer I am lucky enough that my family saved a lot of pictures. Some of the info was recorded on the back of the photos. But the majority of the info came from my mother, Ruth Engel Jacobs, who passed away in 1993. I am trying to honor my family, their friends, co-workers and acquaintances by by creating my family website, www.mypresentpast.com
