Its a picture of 2 ladies in front of a nice background. Problem is that the flash went off and the background went white.

Either we have to chop it nicely and fit it into a pic with the background (sans flash) taken a few seconds earlier with them not in the picture .. or find a way to show the background in teh actual pic.

The image data is there, it just needs to be modified.. can you do this for me please.
 
The flash has nothing with the background going white. If it didn't go off, you wouldn't even be able to see their faces. You're shooting a backlit scene - there's too much of a difference between the sky and their faces to have it come out right.

Try burning it in photoshop, might be able to bring some detail back.
 
If you have the raw underexpose the photo. Now you have two versions and just paint in the areas from layer 1 to layer 2. Shoulnd't be too hard. On my way out for dinner.
 
hehehe.. not fark folk.. but yeah.. i dont have raw files, i doubt that canon a70 would output raw files.. in anycase that picture is from june.. yeah the flash did go off to light the subject, and the background went white, that never happens on film for me.

edit: can you guys fix that picture? or shall i submit to costco like it is?

it didnt affect it, my theory on what happened is when teh flash went off to light the subject, it shortened the 'shutter speed' that made the background go white.

I dont have this problem on film by the way, it works amazing in teh same situation.

'shortening the shutter speed' would have the opposite effect of what you are saying
