Thanks for these instructions Randy!

I have lots of pictures that look like the "faded" example you provided.

Although the instructions are technical and detailed, I encourage anyone who has the "Photoshop" program, to try to follow it through. The results make it more than worth the effort, and once you've learned on the first photo the rest will be easier.

Thanks Randy, I can't wait to start improving my old photos.
