Hi Buffa...
Welcome to the board. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Can't give you any specific direction on using those particular tools for photo resoration, but i'd just like to say that IMHO those tools should not be used for this function. Or at the very least, used in an extremely minimal capacity.

Those 2 tools are what i call "destructive" tools. Which is something i wouldn't think to use for 'restoration' purposes.

Can you perhaps explain a little about what exactly you intend on doing with those tools? Maybe i can help provide an alternative technique.

PS: there ARE certain situations however whereby blurring, smudging can be utilized to get positive results. Here, have a quick read of a tutorial i wrote for this: http://photoshopgurus.info/intermedi...makeover.shtml
It doesn't pertain specifically to 'photo restoration' persay, but it's somewhat related. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
