Meldrew,

If you print off some RootsChat leaflets and give them to each member, then that would be great!

As the images are copyright of the original owners you cannot reproduce them unless you get permission from them. So if you don't hear from somebody then unfortunatly cannot use the material.  Embarrassed

I'm sure that if you contact the person concerned by Personal Message then they would be more than happy for you to give a talk based on their pictures.  Wink

For my part, I don't mind at all.

For the best possible restoration: Scan at 300dpi • full color (even B&W's) • save with as little jpeg compression as possible.

Don't know whether "original owner" means the person making the request, if so one of mine is on here having been cleaned up, you are welcome if you want to use it.

Good luck with the presentation, wish I could be there!

The procedure to use these photo's is to send a PM to the original poster to ask for their permission to use the original. Once you have secured their permission you next ask the restorer if you can use their work. Although there is no legal obligation to do so it is just a common courtesy. Also as Trystan says a little bit of credit to Rootschat Forum would be appreciated.

Agree with deadants ...

We are all doing restoration work on images "supplied" by the "owners" ... and at their request ...

So it is those members who need to approve further use ...

Kind Regards,

I would like to thank all members who gave permission for their photos to be used. The slideshow of the resorations was the highlight of the morning, as most of the audience did not have computers and had mever seen anything like it.

Oh, by the way I recruited two new members.

As my picture colouring efforts have been chosen as the butt of unpleasantness from a certain member this will be my final post on the site.
Thank you.

I know I have voiced my opinion against colourising old photos to the general forum population but did not see the post from someone targetting you in particular ... (I must admit I sometimes miss a couple of days in visiting the forum .. so often don't catch up on all threads)

I don't think it is appropriate to single out an individual giving of their own time to contribute to the forum ... And that is something you have certainly done here with some great posts and pieces of restoration work ..

Please keep being active on the forum ... the more the merrier ...

Kind Regards,

Meldrew - Please don't go  Cry Cry Cry

From the posts of yours I've come across you seem to be a cheerful chappy who is always willing to help, you'd be missed so please think again.

I don't know which post it is that has upset you but if it's appropriate you could advise a moderator on that board, or maybe a PM to the individual concerned to let them know how you feel as sometimes people do forget that their words can be taken at face value in a post when really there intended message is not anythingl like the words that appear on the screen Huh

Tabitha
P.S. If I knew where you were I'd bring you round a nice cuppa tea and a few hobnobs to try and put the smile back on your face  Grin

P.P.S. Oh, Nearly forgot to say... Well Done on your presentation and for recruiting some new members  Grin

Congrats Meldrew, I'm glad your presentation was a success and the rootschatters' efforts were of use!  Cheesy

PLEASE don't stop contributing to the restoration board... Cry  Cry  Cry   I know it's difficult sometimes, and some people can be - shall we say - less than tactful  Wink  when they post.

We all have different ideas about what we like and what we don't.  Some of us like colour, some dont.  Some like sepia, some don't.  Some like bright colours, some like pale tinting....all we can do is make our own contributions to someone's request, the best we know how, and if someone doesn't like it, and can't give constructive criticism, then phooey to them!

The best thing about Rootschat, and the restoration board in particular, is the great learning experiences.  I myself have even learned to like colourised pictures, something I never in a million years thought would happen to a photograph purist like me  Grin  And part of that lesson was learnt from you, so I hope you decide to stay.
