Practice work

[Pipsmom]

Hate it when I run out of practice work, it's boring...where do you find old photo's to practice on?

This is an easy one PM, Google Images is your friend: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...rJSQoP80#hl=en&tbm=isch&q=damaged+photographs

When you get good enough, you should check out this website: http://www.operationphotorescue.org/

You will get more practice than you could ever hope for. Just be prepared to find out out how little you know about retouching, restoration, and colorization. They only want the images restored to their ORIGINAL condition, no fancy smoothing and all the other stuff you learn outside on the net. You will be required to pass their requirements before they allow you to actually work on any of the clients photos. I restored images here for about 3 years, it's very challenging work.

I second that 100%.

Your other qualities shine through too.....you are active on the forums, not scared to ask questions, admit your mistakes, you WANT to learn, you join in the challenges and I bet you can sink a pint or two as well.

Its good to have you around.

Regards.
