I think it's almost impossible to find articles written by professional retouch artists. So, I was pleased when I found this article.
It's a good read, with some great tips, and a few "do's" and "don'ts".

Thanks so much, Vikki

I'm just starting with photo restoration/retouching. I have absolutely no education or knowledge about this. But I'm becoming addicted to it. I have less education/knowledge about photography :)

That article is very helpful to me.

No time to read all that now Vikki. But from all the positive posts, I'll surely get to it. Thanks.
