I agree with the warning about this hobbies being highly addictive. I love anything that have to do with colors, images, photos, etc. that is why as I say above this is the place for me !

I have been browsing just a few places in this fantastic site and I am sure it will still take me a while to get to know it completely.

Thank you Doug for creating it !

and a Hi ! to all the fellow members !!

I have to echo Kraellins sentiments. I have been a registerd user since last year. I have finally got my backside into gear and posted on the restoration forum. I just love trying to rescue other peoples lost treasures. I hope I'm going to learn a lot more ofphotoshop by trying the tutorials and joing in on some of it interesting topics that are all over this vast forum.

cheers

I am on another forum and your link was posted this morning. I am very excited to be able to join you all. I am in the process of doing a hertiage album for my 91 year old Mother.
Many of her pictures need help and I am looking forward to learning how to fix many of her pictures.

I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2 in April and have been taking a wonderful online class to help me learn how to use it.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome Joan !

You will find excellent professionals here to learn from. You are in the right place for the heritage project for your Mom.
I am sure you will enjoy being a member in this forums.

Best regards - Martha

Hi

I am Melissa. I guess I am a newbie when it comes to this. I am a Mixed Media artist. I mainly do rubber stamping and collage type art. I have recently opened a businiess selling collage sheets to my fellow artists. I have 100's of antigue photos well over 100+ yrs old. My reason for joining here is to get these photos restored. Some are a mess with yellow blotches and some are just faded and worn. And some are not recognizable, So I came here to learn how to fix these.

I have read a lot of the tutorials and am impressed by all. I can't wait to find the ones that can teach me how to fix these photos. Thanks for making such a great place.

hi melsa,

and welcome to RetouchPRO!

probably the best place to get started on your restoration project is right here in this forum, the restoration forum. if you've got the pics scanned, just post one and folks will wander in and take a look, offer advice and tips, and perhaps even do one themselves.

if you'd like to date the images, try the history forum further down in the list of forums. we've got folks here that can help with that as well.

This site is the marriage of two things I hold dear, Digital Photo Editing and a supportive online community.

I am in awe of all that is here!

Cant wait to upload some of my work.

Im Tonya a photographer here in the Houston metro area. Im looking to also learn pro retouching so I could also offer that service to photographers around the area, and also national.

I have been here a few days and posted on your forums. This is really a excellent site for retouching I have learned more from here in the few days i been here. I have passed this site so many times but never joined, I could kick myself for that, but a makeup artist in a forum on ezboard told me to come here for retouching guidance and Im glad I did.
