and welcome to my tutorial on beginning
photo restoration tools. Before we start

palletes and menu bars that one might

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 clone stamp
tool. On the left hand side count down 9
tools and you will see it. Select it.
In order for us to see better lets increase
our brush size to 65 by selecting brushes
and then 65
Let me show exactly how this tool works.

begin painting until her entire head

you clicked and copies the information in
the new area. Prety cool right!

using this tool.
Thanks for watching my tutorial and I
hope this has helped introduce you to
some new tools to begin restoring old
photographs.
