By Michael Timm
Did not go indepth on how to use various tools and why to use them
By Tim Cukr
Excellent instructor. Also like the entire photo restorations at the end.
By Bernard Silke
Would have liked to work quickly on an example first (restoration) and then work through the techniques. Not all techniques will be necessary perhaps for each individual, depending on what are their goals and objectives
By Paul Souza
Lots a great techniques and tips in this photo restoration course. I feel confident to do some of my own projects now.
By Marianne
Really interesting. Lots of info... tips and tricks for restoring photos. Just a titch too fast for me to follow at times... but overall quite well done. My lack of experience with Photoshop is most likely the contributing factor for this... but well worth the time. I'll definitely go over the course a few times, so that it all sinks in. :)
By Larry Perfetti
Sometimes the teacher speaks too fast and gives too little detail about what he is doing at the same time. The techniques he offers are great. He expands my knowledge of tools. I like the course a great deal.
By Becky Torbett
Excellent course that covered so much! Instructor took time to explain details, and yet in the end he briefly showed us some of the same steps he demonstrated earlier and focused on new techniques. We didn't have to watch repetitive reviews of earlier techniques, but we did get to see the results of the steps as he revealed his prep work step by step. A lot was covered and I know I will be referring to this course often as I attempt more photo restoration. The instructor gave me new knowledge and tools to feel more confident in what I can do. I highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn more about photo restoration.

It's a very good course, but most of it is beyond my level of expertise. I did learn many things, though.
