my friend took a pic of his daughter with his PoS/P&S and asked me if I can clean up the pic for him. I will try it when I get home after work tonight, will post my results for critique later on.

I am thinking of the following steps
1)align straight
2)remove noise, noise ninja
3)make background black
4)adjust colors(brighten)
5)adjust white balance
6)adjust saturation
7)maybe convert to B&W

if someone wants to give it a go or give me some tips I would appreciate it

this is a small version

this is what I have so far
