Request for examples of excellent work.

Sorry if I seemed a little short. The forum seems to be getting hit by "drive by posters" who come in make one post almost demanding help or information, they get their info then, poof, they are gone. Some ask for explicit, step by step, help on very basic skills, don't bother to search the tutorials or read their manuals. Some of us try to help and get no feedback or even a thank you. Perhaps you can understand why we are "gun shy"

I have done work with Civil War images that came from the Smithsonian.
I don't remember if I actually posted them here...

But you can check my website.

Wow - I'd never guess by looking at the "after" shots how much damage there was to the "before" pictures.

Thanks
