Damaged Photo

Scan in or use one of my damaged photos.

Get on from me buy logging into my dropbox on my front computer.

Desaturate your image to remove any color from a Black and White Photo. Don't use this for a color photo.

Use the retouching tools to fix all of the cracks, scratches, or imperfections.
• Clone Stamp (use Option to define a source point)
• Healing Brushes
• Patch Tool

Goto Filter->Noise->Dust and Scratches to get rid of the small imperfections. Leave the radius at 1 pixel and the threshold at 0.

Straighten your photo using the Measure tool found under the Eye Dropper tool.
• Drag a line on the bottom edge of your photo.
• Goto the Image Menu then to Image Rotation then Arbitrary. Hit OK.

Cut off the old border using the rectangle marquee tool then select inverse.

Add a new border using the Rectangle Shape Tool.

Add a Photo Mask Adjustment layer to put the Sepia Tone back in.

Put your Before and After on 1 page to turn in.
