September in our family features 4 birthday celebrations, which provide quite the excitement and sugary treats. So I picked out this photo scene, as a very familiar one lately here in our world.

Terri (left) and Tracy (right) Chapman are excitedly sitting on their home couch and working on some gift opening. We can’t quite discern what toy or item was received this day, but the context, and summery wear, has me assuming this to be around their birthdays, both in August. Based on appearances, and processing date on the photo of March ’67, I’ll presume this to be around Aug of ’66 at the Evergreen house. Terri would be turning 1 and Tracy 3.

The edit needed some better light balance, it was quite darkened. Threw some light in, pulled out the details and colors better and removed dust/dirt/markings.

Here’s the before/after:

Here’s another example of the MyHeritage, “photo enhancer” used on faces here. See what you think — fairly good to me!
