restoring an old photographs
-
You can use the Dropper tool and the Brush tool to make detailed corrections to your image. You use the Dropper tool to select a color.
Steps
- Click the Dropper tool.
- Click the image in the area that has the color with which you want to paint.
After you have selected a color, you use the brush tool to paint the photograph.
- Zoom in on the area you want to paint.
- Select the Brush tool.
- Right-click.
- Set your brush diameter and hardness. Here are my suggestions for very detailed work:
- Master Diameter: 1
- Hardness: 100
- Very carefully paint in the missing areas. Change the color of your brush as needed.
If you cropped the border of your photograph or if your photograph did not have a border, you may wish to add a border after you have made all the corrections. To add a border:
- Choose Image > Canvas Size from the menu.
- Change the Width and Height measurements to pixels.
- Add 20 pixels to the Width.
- Add 20 pixels to the Height.
- Set your canvas extension color to white.Click OK.
- You have added a border to your photograph.
