Yeah...sigh.... I know how you feel. We're in the process of homebuying, going from 1 bedroom 900 sq ft apartment to 1400 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath house. As a dog mama, I think I'm gonna run out of wall space pretty quickly even with the house!

I love number 3 and if all you need is to have the foot cropped out send it to me and I can help you out on that. As far as the shadows go though, I don't know that my photo editing skills are THAT good lol

It's not a matter of cropping. The file I have is 223kb, which is tiny and that's the largest one I have. The other two are near 5MB each, which is perfect for large prints. I can't do much with the 3rd, unfortunately, even though I love it. I should have thought this through before getting a new computer!

I ordered the 1st, but as you can see, it's terrible. The background looks terrible. I have nowhere to put the stand because we seriously have 2 windows in this place and just not enough room. I can take it outside, but then they'd be distracted by people walking around here. I need a nice, big, sunny room for my photo stuff!

First off if you know you're in violation of her copyright why would you take her photo and altar it? You obviously know enough about photography copyright to not go taking random peoples pictures off of the internet and altering them.

Second why would you do such a HORRIBLE job at altering that photo? I could do better then that!

Actually unless you have good skills it looks fine. It was quick and dirty and done as a favor. Just to see what it might look like. If the recipient does not like it...it is gone. I think I could easily make fair use stick on that...but why bother? If the owner does not like it away it goes.

And why would you take such an ugly tone on such a thing? That time of month?

LOL @ a man thinking just because I have an ugly tone it's that time of the month.

The reason I took an ugly tone with you is because I am a photographer and have had someone do the exact same thing to one of my photos not knowing what copyright infringement was, and she is a friend of mine. You OBVIOUSLY know. I offered my services to her and she declined because she didn't have the original large file anymore, so what makes you think she would need you to do such a horrible job at editing a photo of hers when I'm pretty sure if she was that hard up to get that photo printed she could do a much better job herself.

And ps that does NOT look fine.

I've ordered the 1st, so no need for altering. No matter how much editing is done, there is no way such a small file will be fit to print on anything bigger than a 4x6, unfortunately. I ordered the 8x10. I didn't realize I no longer had the regular sized file when I initially posted.

And I get jaime_mac's tone. Recently, there was a whole post regarding someone asking about which photo of their dog to use in a contest (not for cc advice) and several took it upon themselves to tell her they were both terrible and they "fixed" it for her by taking her photo and re-posting it in an altered state. So that's where that stems from.

The tone was out of keeping with the potential offense.

I have made some tens of thousands of dollars defending copyrighted maps...much more interesting CR wise than photos.

I would think it could be done better but it gives the view of the photo without the shadows. It got 15 minutes of effort. If the owner wants it done well she can have that done. I would think that unlikely as the quality of the original is not of high quality.

May I point out that you over react...like many photographers...because you really don't understand.

I threw the little clause in to make it clear that the picture had not been lifted...mostly so the busy bodies would not jump all over the CR thing.

I obviously failed.
