Restoration
« on: Friday 07 November 08 17:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello to all,

I have looked for some way to try Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 to see if is for me but cannot find a link to download this info.
I have no experience of photo restoration so any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks, James L.

hi James, I use Photoshop Elements 5.0, it does everything I need and more and there are plenty of restorers here who can help you.

Hi billkent,

Thanks for the reply and offer of help. Do you know of way to try this programme for perhaps 30 days. I have seen offers for trials but typically I cannot locate one at this time in spite of having all sorts of freebee CDs and DVDs acquired over some time.
I feel this programme may suit me as my initial interest is to tidy up old BW family photos.
 Regards, James

If you go to the top of the board, look at  'I want to learn photo restoration-guidance needed' Caz thinks there may be a Photoshop Elements 30 day free trial.

Thanks Bill, Thanks George,

I will download the trial version 7, then over the next few days I will try it out and then I may be more ready to ask sensible questions.

Great site for friendly advice.

Regards,

James

You're welcome James. I use Photoshop Elements 6 and to be honest, it took me a while to get used to it but here is a great site for help and information: http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/index.php
