There are some fantastic restorations and colouring of old photos here. Is everybody using photoshop? and if so, how long on average do you spend restoring a photo?
Heep up the good work!!

Hi Blackbird :)
I think we all use a variety of different packages, though many of us do use one version or other of Photoshop.
The time to do a restore varies - from 1/2 hr or so for a very simple colour/contrast adjustment to many weeks for a difficult restore and colour.

Hello Blackbird
I have Photoshop CS 2 Premium.
It's the only one I've had experience of and my technological expertise is a joke, so normally I only use a few simple tools.
My initial restores are painstakingly slow because I prefer not to rely on short cuts.
Colourising (for me) only comes after the restore and I will always adjust & tweak when necessary.
I view each photograph as a whole, with every part interacting and changing as I work.
Hope this makes sense
