Picture of Avagail Taylor Moore and her four older siblings



So, my Grandma has this picture of her mother (the youngest child in the photo), Avagail Taylor Moore, and Avagail’s older siblings: Dora Bell Taylor Blackburn Hunt, Charles Ephraim Taylor, and Orval Clell Taylor. The picture is kind of in rough shape with a rip across the front and quite a few spots that look to have been damaged by water, plus the photo was originally printed for one of those old antique oval frames – so the picture itself is not flat and could not be scanned on a flatbed scanner. Since it is the only picture I have ever seen of my great grandmother as a child, I thought it would be worth restoring. (Again, I love Photoshop!) So, I took a picture of the photo with our digital camera, then worked on that on the computer. Once I got it all cleaned up, I adjusted the color, and then I cropped a picture that just showed my great grandma, Avagail.
