Hi Colin,
Love this tutorial. I want to try this with my family pictures. I am using a PC Laptop with Windows 10, and Photoshop CC 2018. I would like to know how to match colors, on some of my pictures that have gotten discolored spots in the older photos.

My initials are PC, so that’s what I use. I just wish I could get a little more RAM and a new, faster processor. I have been using the same one for 60 years and I forget a lot. LOL
I use a Desktop PC – Windows 10. Never used the Liquify – very cool to learn that trick! Excellent!
Windows!
