How to highlight one person in a crowd?

[wilddove Profile Private messageWebsiteICQ]

I have several very Old, very Bad photos of groups of people. I also have newer, current day photos of some of those people in the group photos.
I would ideally like to show the whole group for a few seconds, then Zoom in on the person I want to highlight, then fade that zoomed in picture into the current day photo.....if that makes any kind of sense at all...
The problem is the Old, Bad photos....zooming in does not work at all...they become extremely pixelated and it just looks bad...

Do any of you know a way to sorta "Highlight" one person in a group photo (while still showing the group) to sorta indicate that that person is the one you want them to pay attention to????

If anyone can figure out what I just asked, I sure would appreciate some ideas and suggestions!

Thanks,
Deb

Hi Deb,

Here is a tutorial I found a few days ago that helped me. I think it might be what you want.

The 'highlight has already been answered, but maybe the pixelation is because the 'old photo' has been scanned at low resolution. Try a scan at a higher resolution this should ease or eliminate the problem.

Thank you, Joe, for pointing me to that tutorial....That is Exactly what I needed!

And Brian, Unfortunately I do not have the original Old Photos....wish I did....sometimes you just gotta try a make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

Thank you both for helping!!
