Gosh Irene,

That  is fantastic. We are very very slowly restoring  a  lot of photographs. Each one  takes us hours, sometimes days. What do you use to get such quick results?

Thanks ;D

I use an old version of photoshop CS2  :D
I have been known to also spend days restoring one photo . It just depends on how much damage there is. A good scan to start with makes a huge difference.

I have also been doing this for years ::)

Thank you Irene,

I must take some time out and look at quicker ways. Hopefully with a fair amount of automation and/or intelligent editing.
