Hi Mike, and everyone in this thread,
Adobe software is really the most suitable for home restoration, I guess.
I use Photoshop mostly, because encounter damages a lot, apply not only color correction. There are some torn photographs, defective because of water, with missing parts, you know, when people don’t storage them accurately.
YouTube tutorials — both time-lapses and detailed ones — offer many tips and background knowledge in photo restoration. As example, discover something from this list of restoration tutorials:

Practice and gain your own experience. The best tutorials in the world will worth nothing, if you don’t practice enough. Good luck!
