Thanks everyone for the welcome messages. I've been lurking in another photo retouching forum for some time, but it was way over my head with no special place for beginners. I'm glad I found this place.
Here is a little about me, just so you will know. I'm a retired great-grandmother, and for many years my hobby has been rebuilding, repairing, and upgrading computers. I've had to give that up recently because of the lifting involved. Computers are heavy!
I missed my hobby, and was casting about for something I could do. It occurred to me that cameras aren't that heavy. I got my first camera when I was ten years old, but eventually wandered away from photography. Now I'm back into photography with a "new to me" digital camera, and loving it. That led to my current project of copying old family photos, which eventually led me here to this forum.
