Photo Restoration Blog

Archive for the ‘Image-Restore news’ Category

This is not a photo restoration post today but just an apology for any downtime.

Sorry if  any of  you have noticed some downtime I have just updated my wordpress to the latest version via the 2.3.3 to 2.5.1 to 2.9.1 route.

I also  hope to be changing the theme to the one column so that my tutorial videos fit in the page better.

See you all back soon for another post, maybe even another photo restoration video tutorial!

Neil

EDIT: I have now had a theme change to reflect a more modern look and to fit my videos in the page. I have tried to keep it as similar as possible.

Hi all

Regular visitors may be familiar with my entries into photoshop competitions. A short while ago I entered a photoshop competition to manipulate a photo of some tree bark on pxleyes website. I have just been back there to see how my entry was doing and I came second! I am most pleased. For those of you that are interested my photoshop portfolio is on the site and here is the picture that came second. A comment below my photo read “A wooden wood-worm in wood”

Which I though was very fitting. I hope you like it.

Thanks to all who attended the Woking Family History Fair Today 31st October 2009, it was good day and everyone enjoyed it. I was located just inside the main door but outside the main hall.

There was a photo dating help centre in the main hall who helped boost the numbers of people coming across my stand to restore old photos, photo post cards, photo printing and photo wallets to keep your old photos safe , many stands for researching your family tree, and of course my photo restoration stand.

Many people attended and there was great atmosphere.

A small but well designed stand before the event started.

 A special thanks to the stand to my left who fetched me a cup of tea when things got busy and refreshments were needed.

Thanks again to all who attended!

Hi all

 I will be attending the Woking Family History Fair on the 31st October 2009. It will be held in Woking leisure centre from 10am to 4pm. If you wish to come along I will be just inside the door, look out for the banner. There will be loads of stall holders selling their services, postcards and books, so please arrive early.

 Hopefully I will see some of you there.

Many thanks for sticking with the Blog! I know its a bit erratic at times with a photo restoration post here and art tutorial there, like anything it takes work to maintain it. I really appreciate everyone who takes time to read. The most popular post is the tutorial on making an eye in photoshop and not a photo restoration entry. As this is what many of you have been viewing I have added more art based entries to satisfy your thirsts. The next entry wil be back on track with another photo restoration article.

Back soon.

Sorry to everyone who has been following me on photoshoptalent.com, their website has been down for the last week “under maintenance”, any links I have to them are broken. Hopefully photoshoptalent will sort out this problem soon. If not I will upload all the images on my photo restoration blog so I no longer have to rely on them.

Update: They are now up and running again under pxleeyes.com All data was lost so none of you would have seen all the entries. I have listed them below.

Acorn made from brass fixings

Birdhouse made from bits of a birdhouse

Jet, foreground and middle ground added to a snow scene

Same scene as the previous one but hole and foreground added

cracked paint texture and lightning added to snow scene

Snow added, it was summer before I added snow!

Lengthy removing of trees and moss, added lizard leg and head and new background and cloud smoke

Made from a chrome spoon and spatula.

I am sure I have missed a few. If I find the original images that these were made from I will add them in.

Hope you like them
