Title: New here and saying hello.
Post by: JudiRose on April 06, 2012, 01:55:18 PM
I'm brand-spanking new here (as of today) and am pretty excited to be part of OPR. I'm a real novice with Photoshop; I've had it less than three months. It's a little overwhelming, but it's so much fun and challenging.

I'm excited to learn to restore photos. I'll have lots of questions!

I'm working on my first photo now and am really enjoying it.

Thanks for reading,

Judi McCann

Welcome JudiRose! I'm sure you'll enjoy working with this wacky group of volunteers.

We currently have a team in Hummelstown, PA, on a 'copy run' to collect photos damaged in Tropical Storm Lee. Soon we will have many new photos available to work on, including (hopefully) a range of damage from light to severe. Check the Forum and Photoshelter Galleries often over the next few weeks.

In the meantime you may enjoy reviewing some of the tutorials our volunteers have put together for us. There's a wealth of expertise packed into them.

Have fun restoring!

Hi, JudiRose:

We have members with all levels of experience in OPR. I've learned everything I know about photo restoration by reading and posting on Forum. Experts like Pat, Jonas, Margie, Hannie, Tess, Kiska, Shujen and too many others to list are ready and willing to share everything they know. Your own personalized tutorial whenever you need it! Welcome to OPR.

Hi JudiRose,

Welcome from all of us on the Hummelstown copy run. Remember all of us started out as beginners and picked up information from others who helped us improve our skills. Hope to see you on the forum.
