 Program for old B/W pictures
I am looking for a good program that I can restore old B/W pictures that have NOT been treated good over the years. I know that one can work on them in PS or PhotoImpact ULEAD like I have, but I have heard that there are special programs for this type of work !!! Any HELP ???????????????

Bagsfan5, I really think Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are great tools for this. (Elements can often be purchased for under $50 US ). Here is a book on the topic that you might want to check out at your local book store: Photoshop Restoration and Retouching. by Katrin Eismann. This site will provide additional details about the book: http://www.digitalretouch.org/

The biggest restoration specialists use photoshop. I've been to a couple of their seminars and it's incredible what can be done with a bit of traning.

I agree with autumsky
Katrin Eismann's book is the best I have seen on the topic. The techniques are very well explained and straighforward. The book is written using Photoshop as base software, but the same techniques can be used on many programs: Photoshop Elements, Ulead or any other.
Some scanners had a mode to correct dust and scratches, but I think that I wouldn't trust a software to automatically decide what is an imperfection and waht should remain. Retouching is more art than science... therefore human intervention is needed if quality results are expected.. My 2 cents...

You need Photoshop 6 min, 7 much better and a lot of time to practice. I agree with IcarusFree that Katrin Eismann is the best. Have a look here http://www.digitalretouch.org/ Her book book has made me money and others happy
