Hi everybody,

I did some choppin on a picture of my family. We had a picture made for my grandma to hang on the wall. She was very happy with it when she got it, but that's a couple of years ago. Now there are some people on that picture who are no longer part of the family (ex boyfriend/girlfriends you know that huh) so my grandma took it of the wall, wich i understand. But it is the only picture we have of our family together (my grandma's 2 sons/ daughter and the kids) And one of the family moved to another country.. (Suriname) So i asked her for the picture and she gave it to me wondering if i could take those people out so she can put it back on the wall again.
I did get those people out, and must say i am pleased with the new picture but the colors are not good. I printed the image and people look as if they are burned from the sun.
When i started i first scan the picture, but because it's glossy the light of the scanner reflected and it got all white dots. So i took my camera and made a picture of the picture wich i chopped on. How do i get the right colors back and make the people look normal and not so red. please help cause i want to give the picture back to grandma so she can hang it on the wall again.

Here are the links:

picture of picture: http://home.wanadoo.nl/wemibas/pictureofpicture.jpg
and finaly my chopped version: http://home.wanadoo.nl/wemibas/result.jpg

I think the color of the little almost bold guy (my dad, now you now why i'm little! Laughing ) comes close to what i need to get with all of them.
