I had someone approach me for restoration work.. It will be a easy one for me.. What's the going rate.. I was thinking of doing on rate for the restoration and if they order their prints from me giving them a little break but if they don't does anyone know what this type of work is going for?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a picture which has been edited and saved (some stuff was drawn on it). However, when checking the picture in my folder (a small tab image), I am able to see the old (original) picture. Therefore, I know that the data of the old image must still be saved somehow/somewhere. (Note: the image was NOT edited on my computer).
is there any way I can 'undo' the editing and recover my old/original picture?
I use an older version of Photoshop. It is able to import and read a 16 bit depth file. Though it is limited in what it can do with this bit depth, it can do the levels and curves adjustments on an image. I want to have the best quality scan to start with for photo restoration in my older Photoshop. I won't be able to directly import the file with my older Photoshop from the scanner. If I scan a photo as a 16 bit 600 ppi image, I'm afraid color information will be lost when I open it in the older Photoshop. Is there any way I can open and save such a file without losing all that good color information? I know I would need to save it in a format that supports 16 bit depth like png versus jpeg.

The photo has alot of grain to it in the dark areas of the photo. When I start bringing the photo back to life the grain is even more noticeable obviously. Does anyone know of a good technique to remove this kind of extreme grain?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a restoration order I have done and everything is great except that I cannot get the background on the restoration to match the original "yellowed" color of the original photograph.
The original is an old time school class photo from the 1940s, with the pictures of each of the students in ovals on what looks to be Kodak Ektalure N paper.
Naturally it has yellowed over time and our customer would like the same yellowed look to the restorations.
I am sure there is a simple way to take a reading of some kind off of the original and use that reading in Photoshop to match the background "off white" color of the original.
Are many of you who are doing restoration work profiling your scanners?
I have a DVD of some old 1937 film footage. It was obviously taken as a direct transfer from degraded film stock. I have loaded it into Videostudio from the DVD (which VS has loaded as .mpg files) I have applied some sharpening and visual filters and want to export the footage. Is it best to export to DV and then use that to remake a DVD or burn the DVD direct from VS? I am assuming that trying to reburn the DVD will involve some re-encoding anyway, so either way isn't going to make a difference other than having a DV file to archive.

how to adjust the scroll rate when you zoom in on an image? Back in version 5, PS used to automatically adjust the scroll rate when you zoom in on a pic so you're not scrolling really fast past the area you're trying to work on, but now (using PS7) when I zoom in on an area of a picture, the scroll rate doesn't seem to change so when I try to just slide a few pixels horizontally or vertically, it quickly jumps to the far end of the picture.

When using any liquify brush (Bloat, Forward Warp, etc.) you can of course choose your brush pressure and rate of the effect, with predicable results, but these values only seem to work if you keep the mouse stationaryduring painting. The instant you move the mouse, as if to paint with the (i.e.bloat tool), the rate shoots way off the top and (i.e. bloating) to an absolute and rather useless maximum. I vaguely remember a time waaay back, possibly Photoshop 7 or so, where this wasn't the case and all was well. You could gracefully add a slight Turbulence effect set to a barely noticeable 5% and paint lines where you pleased at only a 5% effect along your path.�Is there a way to disable this "pressure/rate value ignoring" skyrocketing issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to do a stream restoration design with corridor modeling. for the low flow channel pool, i will have alternate riffle and pool sections. my understanding is riffle for X feet, then pool for Y feet, then repeat, per the riffle to pool spacing requirements.
my question is regarding the left pool and right pool sections. please see attached images. for left pool, width A > width B and vice versa. A+B is the same for both left and right pools. left pool assembly has to be applied when the centerline alignment is curving outward to the left side, right pool when curving outward to the right side.
is there a way to specify in corridor modeling when an assembly is to be applied based on the direction of the centerline alignment curves?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a Stream Restoration project and am really struggling to find a flexible solution for modelling natural river corridors.
My Landscape Architect has provided me with a set of 2d-Polylines representing the proposed river alignment as well as some embankment lines. (Spline.jpg)
My first attempt was to create a corridor with a cross-section consisting of some generic links targeting my polylines. see attachment (Corridor.jpg). Obviously it results in a total mess. So I tried splitting the corridor in multiple sub-corridors targeting different lines as suggested by Dana Probert in her class on Stream Restoration. (Corridor1.jpg) However, given the curvature of these lines, the corridor simply never works as expected.
Question #1: is there any way to create a ‘smart subassembly’ which would prevent those bowties? Ideally I’d like it to be able to connect to subsequent vertices of the targeted line. Maybe the subassembly composer is capable of doing such magic tricks?
Since the corridor approach didn’t work I tried adding the Polylines as breaklines to a surface without any other definition. To assign some elevation data I converted them to Feature Lines. The original 2d-Polylines have been set to Fit -> Quadratic though and Civil 3d just refuses to accept them as they are. So I’d go splineedit -> convert to spline and then Flatten to convert them to Polylines back again.
This way I can convert my Polylines to Feature Lines, assign elevations in the elevation editor and add them to an empty surface. After playing around with the mid-ordinate distance and interpolation values I end up with something usable but difficult to manage (Surface feature line.jpg). The Flatten command converts my beautiful splines to a set of interconnected lines and arcs, which aren’t that easy to control. And for all this effort the resulting surface isn’t as smooth as expected (Object viewer.jpg).
Question #2: is there a way to convert splines to feature lines, or better yet – add splines as breaklines to a surface and derive their elevation from a profile?
My current solution to this problem is converting the 2d-Polylines to splines, and then back to Polylines via Splineedit. This way I get a Polyline with tons of straight but short segments. I convert them to feature lines, assign elevations and add as breaklines to the surface definition. The resulting surface is super smooth. It just isn’t easy to modify because of the amount of vertices that have to be moved to do any adjustments.
Question #3: Do you know of any better ways to approach this subject? All of the methods I’ve tried would have worked perfectly with a simple corridor. It’s the curvature that renders them useless.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new at video editing so VS Pro5 has been my first venture into this world. I use a rendering program called Lumion to generate video from the architectural models I create at full 1080p. The problem that I seem to be having is that Corel doesn't support the data rate that the Lumion videos tend to be. My current walkthrough is a 1080p mp4 video and windows tells me its data rate is 42435 kbps. When I import into VS pro5 it tells me the same video is 42180 kbps. When I try to export the clip the program always reduces the data rate to a level that ruins the visual fidelity of the clip. I have tried the custom export and the program won't let me enter higher than 20000 kbps and when I tried the method of using the first clip settings it still reduces the clip down to 36510 kbps which is better but still not the original data rate. Is there something I'm missing or VS Pro5 have data rate limits?
Is 42435 kbps a ridiculous amount for data rate for 1920 x 1080 30f/s video? I don't know a thing on data rates but I'm assuming it's why I'm losing quality in my final video. The 42435kbps clip runs fine on my machine but what should rate should I be considering for my clients to use?
