I think I have saved these from "disaster" mode.had the camera on f16 so backgrounds were in focus.
In the first one (see last picture) I blurred the background with Picmonkey Wrinkle free of all things! It wasn't quite to my liking ... so went into Photoscape and blurred it by hand, I've done this before and it always works. Whenever "Portrait Professional" and "Picmonkey" just don't "do it " for me ... Photoscape to the rescue!!
The second one - blurred background with Picmonkey Wrinkle free and worked on the face a bit to enhance the lighting.
