Old Time Photos
Old Time Photos
All sorts of nasty things can happen to precious old photographs—or precious new photographs, to be fair. The scanned image you'll use in this project is challenging, to put it mildly, because of a large crease in the original print and other flaws. But if you think this is a hopeless case, that’s where you’d be wrong.
With Photoshop tools and features, you have the power to restore this picture to a convincing simulation of its original condition. Granted, there’s no magic pill that fixes this kind of damage in one or two keystrokes, but its’ not beyond your skill level.
