Hello evyerone, my name is Jason
Stark and welcome to my tutorial
on beginning photo restoration
tools. Before we start be sure to
download the sample photograph.
Before we begin its important
that we all have a similar work
space. The work space in
Photoshop describes all the tools,
palletes and menu bars that one
might work with and these are
highly customizable
Select the workspace tab located
in the upper right hand corner
and then selct Essentials. Now
we should all have the same basic
tools needed to complete the
project before us
Now lets go ahead and open up
our photograph.
Before move forward we are
going to rename or background
layer to Original
We are also going to duplicate the
original layer and name it Layer
1. This will allow us to see the
changes weve made as we work.
Before using the clone stamp tool
we can accomplish a lot of
transformation by using the
levels adjustment. Looking at
this picture you should notice
there are not a lot of true blacks
and white. The Level tool will
allow us to adjust these
appropriately
Select Image, adjustments, and
levels. This will bring up a
histrogram showing the range of
colors from black to white and
you can see we are missing a lot
of true blacks and whites.
By selecting the handles on
eather side we can now adjust the
black and white to fix the
photograph.
Now by selecting the visibility
icon on Layer one we are able to
see how much progress has been
made already in restoring the
photograph.
Now before we selct the Clone
stamp tool, lets zoom in so we
can see what we are working tih.
Use the spacebar as a short cut to
move around the photograph
while zoomed in
Now we are ready to use the
