I got the following press release from RetouchPRO LIVE:
Our first RetouchPRO LIVE show with Ctein was so well-received that I couldn't wait to bring him back to show us more of his photo restoration techniques.
On our next all-new live show, Ctein will be performing these 2 photo restorations from start-to-finish. Both demonstrate very common yet hard-to-solve problems. The first involves the "silvered" tarnish that shows up on some old images. The other is an image that has been ripped into pieces.
Watch Ctein's full-sized desktop live via your web browser as he restores these images from start-to-finish. He'll answer your questions about his technique as he works, and more general questions at the end (if there's time).
Saturday, July 9, 4pm CDT (see link below for other time zones)
Click this link for details and ticket sales.
Just passing this along. As you know, Ctein is the author of Digital Restoration from Start to Finish as well as being TOP's resident weekly columnist. His restoration work involves many Photoshop/Lightroom skills that are of general interest and usefulness. I only caught 40 minutes or so of the live show last time, but I liked what I saw and I've heard from lots of people who found it enjoyable.
Please help spread the word!
Mike
This is great...thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out. I would love to try this with some old family photos.

Getting Rid of the Silver Haze in the old days BC (before Computers), when I ran a pro B&W lab -- I used a little bit of Silver Polish. Took care of the haze and it was ready to copy and no I have no idea if it ruined the original print after a while.

I wish I could be there. It's very educational and
enjoyable to watch an expert at work. One can
stand in awe and learn so much.

Dear dauga...,
Doug Nelson records the seminars and makes them available for rental afterwards. Go to his website:
http://www.retouchpro.co/index.php?page=rentals
Basic details are that it costs $15 to rent it, but you (or anyone at your computer) can view it as many times as you want over a 3-day period.
And, in case anyone is wondering, I get half the proceeds from these seminars, including royalties from the rentals.
