G'Day, I am quite new to photoshop. I am putting some family history's together and have a lot of old photo's to restore. Some I think are beyond help. I would like some advice from anyone who can help on what is the best proceedure. From scanning to the final saved image. I am putting these on DVD's (Pal)
Is pixel ratio inportant?
When I zoom in or out on some photo's me I have tried to do the picture messes up like the pixels are wrong.

Has anyony got any advice for a newbe.

Photo retouching can be a fairly involved process, requiring a fair amount of knowledge about Photoshop itself. However, here's two resources you may find useful:

This is an incredibly good book on the subject. It has become a valuable resource in my reference library.

And here's a website/forum dedicated to photo retouching. You may find valuable insight there:

Hope these help you, mate.
