I don’t want you working on something too difficult or too easy. 2) Open scanned image or one of the images I provided. 2a) Straighten and Crop the image if needed All-New Crop Tool in Photoshop CS6, By: Bryan O’Neil Hughes http://www.photoshop.com/tutorials/12636 Crop Tool CS6, Ask Dave Cross http://kelbytv.com/askdave/2012/05/07/crop-tool-in-cs6/ List of shortcuts when using the Crop tool in Photoshop CS6: • “C” selects the Crop tool. • “O” cycles through the different View overlays . • “R” displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog. Note: you must make an adjustment to the Crop marquee before tapping the “R” key, otherwise tapping the “R’ key will select the Rotate View tool. • “H” hides the image area that is beyond (outside of) the Crop marquee. • “X” exchanges the Crop marquee from horizontal to vertical and vice versa. • “P” enables “Classic Mode” where the Crop marquee behaves as in previous versions: you move the Crop marquee, not the image under the Crop marquee. Note: you must make an adjustment to the Crop marquee before tapping the “P” key, otherwise tapping the “P’ key will select the Pen tool. • “Escape” cancels the crop 2b) Many time I prefer the look of B&W to the yellow/sepia look of many old images, so I take the image to Grayscale. go to the Menu – Image – Mode – Grayscale This will also be good to do while learning. You won’t have to deal with choosing the correct color, only the correct grayscale, it is a bit easier to learn the tools in grayscale (I recommend this). 3) Make a duplicate layer of the background -Do not make corrections to the background layer, work on background copy – Go to the menu – layer – duplicate layer, (after making corrections on the background copy -click the eyeball off in the Layers Panel, what do you see?) 4) Use the Spot Healing Brush/Clone Stamp/Patch Tool, to correct dust, scratches, tears, etc. – To use the Clone Stamp/Healing Brush, – Hold down the Option Key, cross hair appears, – Click the mouse in the area you want to sample from (good area), close to the area in need of correction. – Release the Option Key and clone/click over the area in need of repair.
