A Virtual Class Gift using Photoshop
At the end of this past school year a returning client brought us another unique photo manipulation project. We manipulated the photos by “removing” all of the things on the wall, did some masonry work on the wall, added the text in a curve and gave it an effect to look gold and 3 dimensional “hung” the wide screen and “projected” some images on it.

Documenting your summer vacation
I’ve been quiet the last few weeks because our family went on an inspiring family trip to Hamburg, Paris, and Rome. Many people told me, “take lots of pictures”. That is a silly thing to say to me. But in addition to taking lots of pictures I also journaled the events of our memory filled trip.

Documenting a football career
A recent interesting project that came into Leave A Legacy was a lady who was working on a shadow box honoring her husband’s football career. He passed away a few years ago but he had kept quite a scrapbook of his football career from high school through college and the pros. She just needed our help to reprint a few photos in just the right size.

Altering your Photo and Video Memories: Unwanted individuals
Options abound for modifying or repairing your photo and video memories. You may want to have someone removed from an image, be it a former girlfriend, husband or a stranger lurking in the background. This can be more easily done with a still photo of course. I once replaced an ex-boyfriend with a bush in a large family photo. We even modified the images from an old 8mm movie film. The client was fortunate that the unwanted individual was on the edge of the frame. We made clips at the beginning and end of where he appeared and then adjusted that segment over to the right which cut him off and left the rest of the people showing. The image at right is of a photo of a car that was identical to our client,

Memorial Slideshows with a Bit of Sunshine
The slideshow started with a custom graphic title screen “Celebrating the life of…” and progressed through all of the photos…with music to accompany the images we together had selected. At the end, the granddaughter’s painting came on the screen while the audio of “You are My Sunshine” played. What an emotional moment.

Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull At Leave A Legacy
He doubtfully asked if we could handle a negative this big – and I said indeed we could. (Our negative scanning service can handle negatives up to 12 by 17 inches). After a quick look at the image, I blurted out “Is that Custer?”

Preserving Childhood –Ideas for a Photo Series
We thought we’d share some ideas about how to set up a series of photos which illustrate a larger theme. Think of it as ‘storytelling’ with images that all share a pre-planned purpose. We’ll focus on creating an intentional photo series about children growing up – perhaps all too quickly. That’s the theme. Now what

How we do it: DVD Slideshows and all the Possibilities
Creative DVD Slideshows
Did you know that Leave A Legacy can use your digital photo files (jpg files) to produce a DVD that will play on a DVD player and most modern computers?
Of course, if your photos are prints or slides we can make them digital for you.
Images usually appear on screen for five seconds and the transition between photos is usually one second. When using these time lengths it is easy to
figure how long your slideshow will run. For example: 100 photos will make a 10 minute slideshow and 350 photos will make a 35 minute slideshow.
The length a photo is on screen can vary, according to the length you desire, even to a tenth of a second.
