For those who have already seen my other blog (Gimp Newby) or know a bit about gimp already, in the following pages I will try to tell you what to use to restore photos.

If you do not already have the plugin Gmic-Qt, I advise you to download it. David has put a lot of filters in there that will help you with your Photo Restoring as well. There is an online one but to make it easier it is probably better to download. The plugin was originally made for Gimp but a few other programs can use it now.

Enjoy your restoring and practice on a few that you may have. Might take you a little while to get used to the tools you have at hand but once you do you will see the amazing things they can do for you.

Anyway practice,  practice with the different tools. Don't expect to be really good straight away either. Some people are faster learners than others. I have been doing it for 6-7 years and am still not perfect.

I will post some photos later and hopefully show you.
I will try to give my workflow. You will have your own workflow eventually. Everyone is different.

I am not a colourer of photos but there are plenty of sites online where you can find out how to do it. All I know is the photo needs to be restored first then desaturate it.
