O'k heres starte cut and paste.

Thanks for your comments, we do need some way of showing the level of difficulty, if expert is not acceptable then we can use level 1,2,3 etc to give some idea as how difficult the pic is.

There is no intention to interfere with the main photo restore board. The idea has been, as stated from the start, to have a more informal board where those of us who struggle to get results can discuss our efforts with the more experience members, watch and learn.

I'm sure many more of the members who work on the main board will be prepared to share their knowedge (several are already).

What do members suggest.

Just for fun, test your knowledge, write answers on a piece of paper, then we'll compare notes:

If you find these do not relate to your software disregard this.

1. Name two types of images you can open in your software
2. How do you select tools
3. Can you change the view of your image
4. What does the crop tool do
5. What is tonal range
6. What is saturation
7. Do you have the clone stamp tool? What does it do compared to the patch tool
8. What is a snapshot with reference to your worksession

I realise I may be speaking out of turn here but I really don't get what all this is about ..as far as I can see there is a very good thread at the top of the board for anyone who wants to know more about restoring photos..plus the internet is awash with Tutorials for the learner/newbie to photo restoration.
It's just a question of practice, patience and learning  from others on the board...I'm sure anyone would be happy to advise learners  in a P.M. which is how it has always been done before.
Personally.. I just see that this thread will drive posted photos further down the board before they have had the attention they deserve.
There is nothing more satisfying than learning at your own speed and through your own efforts...that way you can truly be proud of what you have achieved and by doing so...you will develop your own unique style thereby avoiding the risk of your work becoming a takeoff of someone's hard earned style
Enough said.

I must agree with Carol.

There are literally thousands of tutorials, both written and video, everywhere over the net.

All you need to do is Google "Photoshop tutorials" to get more links than you will ever need.
Add "video" to your search if that is your prefered method of learning.
Add the area you need help in to your search - and Bobs your uncle, a long list will appear.

You can then save these pages to your "favourites"  or download them to a folder on your computer for future reference.
As there are so many different ways to do each task - this will give you the opportunity to see which one suits you

Sites like "You Tube" "MySpace" " MetaCafe" and "Google video" are just a few

Oh dear, another idea squashed.

There are people who thought it would work.

I have no fight left.

Dont say I didn't try folks.

[Emjaybee]

As there have now been further objections to this thread please do not attempt to post any examples.

There are also numerous social sites on the web yet the YTG, Olde Rootschatte Inne etc are accepted here.

You win again I give up.

[Berlin-Bob]

Some say yes, some say no - just like in real life 

Those who want to will carry on, and seems there are definitely those who want to, and are doing it , so enough said.

Mike, the majority rules 

There are literally thousands of tutorials, both written and video, everywhere over the net.

I agree, but I find it more important that these "Post and tell" tutorials are interactive, and provide different solutions, instead of looking in 3 different tutorials and trying to find the bits that are relevant.

 - and to pick up on something Mike said, they have a very important socialising aspect.

Or do you prefer sitting in front of a computer and working away and getting no feedback ?

It's just a question of practice, patience and learning  from others on the board...I'm sure anyone would be happy to advise learners  in a P.M. which is how it has always been done before.

I thought that the whole idea was that people on the board could learn. Why wouldn't it be a good idea to let everyone know how things are done, rather than in Private messages? New learners may not know who to contact, so they cannot learn from the private conversations that go on behind the scenes.

Just a thought, but if this is they way that the board is going to be, with no-one willing to share their knowledge with the rest of the board, then I'm high-tailing it away yet again

Good luck to the new learners. Hope you get the help you need, but obviously not from these boards

Bye
