Lost everything in fire

Hi all!

Two years ago my family and I lost everything in a house fire on Christmas night. My mom’s birthday is coming up and I was hoping to get these pictures framed for her as it is the only picture I have of her as a kid/teen and with us as kids. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi OP. Thanks for this request. WATCH OUT FOR people that pm you directly like FickleSalamander4091. If they offer to do your request for money then they are probably scammers or at least breaking the rules of this sub. Do not fall for it. Unless you have specified that this is a "Request a PRO" request, if anybody PMs you offering to do the job for compensation please REPORT THEM TO THE ADMINS HERE: https://www.reddit.com/report. The admins have asked us to tell our users to report all PMs asking for money as harrassment. Include link to pm. We want to stop these idiots. Thanks! Doesn't mean you can't tip. Just means they can't ask you to.

To COMMENTERS:
Hello users. We want to keep this place free from people asking for money. If OP is not offering a reward for this request, please do not ask for one. Tip jars etc are not allowed except in "Request a PRO" requests, messaging OP saying you will do it for compensation is not allowed either. That's scamming. Also IBB.CO LINKS ARE REMOVED BY REDDIT and we cannot do anything about it. Do not use ibb.co. Go for imgur.com, it works.

I'm curious, what's the benefit of dropbox vs. here, is?

Also, if I may ask, do u know what, if any, of the below improvements can be done without this pic looking fake/weird?...
-make hairline lower/better,
-fix "gap" in hair on jawline so it's smooth/unbroken
-improve under eye hollowness/face wrinkles.
-improve nose.

Thanks.

I believe this particular sub has rules about which image hosting sites can be used and dropbox is one of the approved ones. Just uploading it here will not be a high-quality picture. Reddit and Facebook degrade the quality on upload to save space.

As for your picture, there are definitely things that can be done that look realistic. Create your own post on this site or one of the other photo editing sites. As you have several requests that you would like done, some editors are more motivated for more time extensive edits if you are offering to pay. Honestly, I do both paid and free, but if you want to get variety and have people put a lot of work into it, you might want to consider that.

Also, when you attach a picture in a comment, it can’t be saved directly to camera roll. It has to be a screenshot and that reduces the quality. I just worked on it for a bit and now that it would definitely be better if I had the original picture. You can PM me. If you can send a picture through dropbox or one of the other image hosting sites that would give you the best result.

*edited to add further suggestions.

You are quite welcome. I’m sorry you lost everything in a fire. If you have pictures left, even damaged/charred, you can post them on some of the restoration pages. I’ve restored some pretty damaged photos from flood and fire before.
