Title: Newbie - first go and question!
Post by: Custard on January 03, 2015, 02:05:33 PM
Hello!

Just signed up recently and started on my first restoration image.

When I downloaded it from Photoshelter I chose 'original' size and it's tiny... is this usual?
1.82mb.

I probably should have asked this before starting lol.

here's my current status... will leave it for a bit and come back to it with fresh eyes.

owww... can't seem to imbed the image? just tried several ways... is it possible to add to this site only rather than on flickr?
(sorry, have tried looking at several forum posts but doesn't seem to help!)

Hi Lenny,

The original size of the photo you downloaded to restore is only 2.25 x 3.25 so it is a very small photo.

Try the following forum link for instructions on adding photos to your posts: http://www.operationphotorescue.org/forum/index.php/topic,2002.0.html

On the example that Tess has shown, where you see the last choice for image code--right click for copy and then you will paste that into your post on the forum.

ok - I tweaked the teddy a little more and some spots on the dress.
it's been awhile since I've done this type of work so it's good practice :-)

It looks wonderful; I'd say you're ready to send this one on to the distributor so you can request another one  :up:

Thanks Pat - I've sent it now and I've downloaded my 2nd choice - I hadn't realised that one was waiting for me.
