Title: New member, nervously awaiting my first image!
Post by: Mike S on March 20, 2017, 11:13:37 AM
Hi all,

Another new member, hoping to make a difference.  Thank you for this opportunity.  I look forward to getting stuck in! 

It is great to have a forum, so I can call upon all the support and the diverse skills offered by this community in times of need - of which I am sure there will be many.

Little about me:  Adobe Photoshop trained (beginner/intermediate/advanced) and an ACA.  Trained in forensic use of Photoshop.  Experience includes repair, manipulation, and facial reconstruction of unidentified persons, to support identification of deceased and family closure.

I am keen to work on anything and everything OPR has to offer.  Excited to learn, develop, and more importantly than anything else contribute to those who need my help!

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike and a hearty welcome! Sounds like you have loads of talent and experience. Great group of folks here. Bet we can learn plenty from you. Good luck with your first restore. Look forward to seeing you around.  :)

Hi Mike and a big welcome from Michigan.  It's always fun to meet and learn a bit about new members.

We have many volunteers who enjoy sharing friendly advice so don't be shy if you run into a difficult restore.  As Shadow indicated you seem to have loads of talent and experience so I'm sure it won't be long before find yourself sharing a few tips, tricks, and techniques of your own.

All the best,
Pat

Hi Mike,

A warm welcome from Kansas. Don't be nervous as this is a fun group. Plus, we are apt to pick up some helpful tips from you. Hope to see you again on the Forum.

Hi Mike. Thought I would mention, not all the distributors live in the US so time zones make a difference when you are waiting on a pic. (Tess is in Australia and Jonas is in Germany) Don't get discouraged ... your fun will be in your inbox before you know it!
