Restoring old photographs is easier than you think. Start by making a duplicate of your image.

1. Choose Image > Duplicate from the menu. The Duplicate Image dialog box opens.
2. Type the name you want to give to the copy of your photo.Click OK.

3. Then crop the image if you can do so without affecting the important parts of your picture. By cropping the image, you leave less to repair.

4. After cropping your image, change it to grayscale to take the yellow out.

You can quickly and easily remove cracks and scratches from you photographs using the Healing brush. Here is how:
