I've been working on the restoration and printing of some old family photos. Tedious but rewarding.

    Wow Gary you must be a very very patient man,
    I know this type of work can involve a rediculous amount of hours.
    I'm sure it was very rewarding for you.

    You should show us the before and after on one or two of these shots.

    Well Done clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    As I wrote over the original scans ... I'd have to rescan. The time consuming part was when I enlarged to 100% ... the went over every section of the photo cloning out dust and scratches. Then global adjustments and selective burning and dodging.

    These are all family photos ... so the reward is priceless.
