Ruffner Daughters

I had two copies of old photos, made on the same day, of Nancy Chiles Ruffner and six of her daughters.  One pose was better than the other, but didn't have as many daughters in it.  The other one had two with heads turned (including my grandmother).

Alex Dumestre, using Paint Shop Pro6, performed a couple of "head transplants" and some more fine-tuning, and came up with a nice group photo.  The .jpg format doesn't do justice to his work, but perhaps you can get the idea.   I used PhotoImpact5 to make a frame for the final copy.    Best viewed at 800 X 600
