I got very interested in photo restoration a while back when creating a family tree for my Dad, but my 'skills?' lapsed.  I really took my hat off to some of the restorers on here who worked absolute miracles.

I'm rambling.  Basically I am a school teacher, and have a year 11 (wonderful) class who have to edit some bitmap and vector images.  They have done fantastic with the vectors, and I thought perhaps photo restoration would be a great thing for them to get into for their final GNVQ project.

Tomorrow I am going to let them log in here, and have a look at the restorations that have been done so they can appreciate what can be achieved.  Letting them view your work is favour enough from you all, I know that, and am eternally grateful that I can.  I want them to try it out though on their parent's old piccies.  Trouble is, the only software we have at school is Corel.  If anyone has a tutorial in Corel for doing this, they would be off and running with your expertise far more than I can haphazardly teach them.

If you have any restorations you are proud of, or can give hints with Corel, they and I would be delighted.

Thank you all in advance.

If nobody replies, no worries, it is enough for them to view the forum, and thank anyway for making your work public.

  I've done loads that I wouldn't dare post, but sometimes its helpful to laugh at one's self, and know that others have had a giggle too!  I tried the baby one earlier, but unfortunately deleted it before you could roll on the floor laughing

So............. post here! (I will!!!)

I've heard that ggreat grandad Pasquale Tuozzo won many medals in WW1, and travelled all over the globe, any trace?

The long lost great grand fathers name has finally been revealed

Could someone do a BMD look up for a Pasquale (sp?) Tuozzo, born either 23 June, or 23 July 1871.  Believed to have died in Merthyr around 1963 ish.

I would be ever so grateful
