| | | The only thing I notice, is the cats face is not quite exposed correctly to match with the rest of the picture, the contrast is a little too much.
This can easily be adjusted by selecting it, and using levels or curves to reduce the contrast.
Other than that, you have done a very good job of restoring and colouring. |

| | | Hi, realaqu -- I'm not qualified to give advice on restoring, but I know this picture well. The left arm is not colored. I know it's hard to see, but both arms are wrapped around the cat. Nice work, though. Regards, Taylor |

| | Gary, thanks for the book recommendation. Would it be useful also for Paint Shop? I have wondered about switching to Photoshop since that seems to be what most people here use. Just such an investment. I will definitely look into the tutorials -- so far just having trouble translating them to PSP.
Appreciate your help - Taylor |

| | Hi Taylor, the book is really aimed at Photoshop users. I don't know PSP, so can't say wether all the techniques are transferable. I suspect that a great many of them may be, but could'nt say so with complete confidence. She does have a website at www.digitalretouch.org it would perhaps be worth having a look there before making a decision. |
