Photo Restoration

1/30/2017

 
Picture
DUE 2/6/17 > Turn in to Google Classroom
Restore a damaged photograph - choose one that Mrs. Olden provided or one of your own.
  1. Scan image (use 300-600 ppi) See directions near scanner in front of room.
  2. Open in Photoshop
  3. Crop & Straighten image
  4. Duplicate Background  layer (ctrl + j) and rename it 'retouch'
  5. If the image is black & white it may be helpful to use the B&W adjustment layer to removes color cast when retouching. You can add toning (like sepia) back later.
  6. Make exposure adjustments (look at histogram to get a good range of tones)
  7. Zoom in and start working on the image using retouching tools. (healing brush, spot healing brush, clone stamp, patch tool)
  8. Sometimes you need to try different tools to get it right.
  9. Also changing settings for the same tool might help (size, normal vs content aware vs proximity match) often helps.
  10. Zoom out and turn layer on and off to see 'before' vs 'after'.
  11. Add any color back using adjustment layers OR 'colorize' your image.
  12. Yay- hopefully it looks beautiful!
