photo restoration
Please help. i have just joined the forum and i would like to find out about photo restoration. I know a little bit about it, what i have taught myself, but i have spent the past year trying to find a course or somewhere i can learn more about this as i would like to do it professionally as a career. I live in nuneaton and have found it extremely difficult to find anything on this topic. can anyone advise me on where i can learn more as a career option. i am getting very frustrated.
Hi Elizabeth.
Welcome to ePHOTOzine.
Well it is a bit of a specialist area, but I do believe that one or two of the members restore old photos.
There is a a whole load of information about Photoshop and other software packages in the Techniques section.
I found this on photo restoration, so I hope it is of use to you.
If you need any help or advice, just ask in the Forums and I'm sure someone will be able to help.
Don't forget to upload some of your restored images to the Gallery for feedback.

Dear Liz, the program of choice is Adobe Photoshop. Latest version is CS3 and quite pricey too. There is quite a steep learning curve understanding layers and masks etc but it is not that difficult. A good place to look is Katrin Eismann's site at http://www.digitalretouch.org. Have a look at my website, I do it for a living.

Creative Live ( Link Here have an advanced photo restoration course available on line at half price. The software being used is Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop seems to be the software of choice, as it offers advanced tools. However there may be other photo editing software which will do. If you just type "photo restoration" into Google (or you browser of choice) and select videos, there are numerous instruction guides on photo restoration technique. Suggest you look at these first, so that you get a better idea of what is entailed. Good luck.
