Our photographs are linked to our history. The fact is, we often don't give them much thought until a milestone anniversary or birthday, a loved one passes on, or other such event. Throughout my career, I've had many desperate clients hire me to restore their treasured images for all of these occasions. Preventing damage is always preferable to repairing it. Keeping photos in acid-free albums, displaying them in frames with UV resistant glass, and keeping them out of junk drawers and boxes will go a long way toward preserving your images. It's also important to digitize them, so copies can be given to family members. Those images of our parents, grandparents, kids—even distant relatives—are part of our heritage and well worth preserving. It would be a shame if our visual family history couldn't be passed on to future generations. Fortunately, with the aid of this book, and the image-editing power of GIMP 2.8, you'll be able to rescue all of the damaged images in your family's collection, as well as those of your clients, if you choose to make a profession out of this fun and challenging activity
