Step 1:
Step 2:
Download this(Or find an old photo)
File→ Open→ Find the download
(Or Drag and Drop it in)
Step 3:
Step 4: Copy the layer
Unlock
Your Screen should look like this:
Step 5:Image→ Image Rotation→ 90 degrees CW
This is your tool bar.
It is usually located on the left hand side of the screen. If it disappears, it can be found under Window→ Tools. Scroll and hover over each to find the tool you need.
Step 6: Find “crop.” It is the fifth button from the top. Holding the mouse button down will open more tools in each.
For every tool that is selected from the tool box, a second menu set will appear at the top.
Common error→ The check mark on the top right of the screen must be clicked before you can proceed.
Filter→ Sharpen→ Smart Sharpen. Remove lens blur option. Experiment.
Rename your second layer by double clicking on the name. Title “Overall,” Click the eye on the layer to toggle its visibility on and off. These overall changes save you much work down the road.
Final steps before fine tuning the image:
Filter→ Noise→ Dust and Scratches. Experiment with Radius and Threshold
Click and drag “Overall” to the copy/new layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers palette. It looks like a turning piece of paper is located next to the trash can. This will copy your layer.
Double click the layer to rename
Work only on your “fine tuning” layer.
3x Ctrl + is our hot key for magnification.
Work methodically, left to right, across and down.
Clone stamping: Areas of damage that are too far gone to be healed. Click the clone stamp tool, alt click an area you want to copy, and click to paste the “cloned” area in. This is located 9 tools down and looks like a rubber stamp.
Fine Tuning Tools
Can you find where the spot was?
Spot Healing: This tool samples the information surrounding it and “fills” in the spot based on that data. You can click a
spot or click and drag over a long line. The key is, to always have the tool slightly larger than the defective area. Sizing can be changed at the menu that appears with the tool. You may have to right click and hold down on the tool to find it.
Patch Tool: This tool, like the spot healing brush, samples the information surrounding it and “fills” in the area based on that data. It is located with the spot healing brush. Click and
hold down to access it. Set the submenu to “destination.”
Use a combination
of patch, spot, and clone
stamping to heal the tear.
