Regular photo touch up help....

[Bearfanmike20]

Hey.. my wife wants to get pictures of my kids done. I want to save the 100 dollars and do them myself.

I have a 6 megapix digital camera.... and I'm hoping to just take the pics.. touch them up in ps.. and then take them to target and have them printed ... total cost... less then 20$.. but they have to LOOK professional.. thats the hangup.

Do you guys know if there are any good tuts or something for just doing regular pics??...

any help would be appreciated.

I did a ton of research..

The final print is actually...

2272 x 1704

Its huge.... it will get scaled down by their systems and as we both know.. flaws go away when you scale things down. ;)
