PS trimming and restoring old photos tutorial

1, to assess the extent of damage to photos

Open the selected photo in Photoshop and start evaluating the damage to the photo. Take a good look at the photos prepared before you start, and choose the direction of the process. Conveniently use the cutting tool to cut the unwanted edges of the cock (you can also skip this link).

2. Basic treatment

Let's start with the background or the larger area to clean it up. Select the Clone Stamp tool, hold down the ALT key, click the color in the clean area, and then apply it to the area you want to repair, and of course, make sure the color area has the hue you need for the damaged area.

Use the Brush Repair tool to draw colors and effects similar to the sample area in the damaged area, and be careful not to mess up the edges and not let the colors faint on the edge.

3. Polishing details

The following tips can help you quickly and efficiently repair areas near the main body. Click the button p, select the Pen tool quickly, tick the path of the area you want to clean, and name the path.

In the path panel, create a selection and set the feather radius to 0.5 to keep copying within the selection. When the effect is achieved, press Ctrl+d to cancel the selection.

If there are multiple areas around the body that need to be processed, repeat the steps until the entire background is repaired.

Enlarge the picture for finer processing. Use the clone stamp, repair brush, and stain repair tool to remove scratches and stains.

4, repair more missing parts

The area that has never been damaged cuts out the image to reconstruct the completely damaged part. Use the Polygon Lasso tool to select a smooth area, create a copy, scale it, and place it where you want to cover it.

Overlay the new layer on the missing part and adjust the transparency to the best effect. Use the eraser tool to remove unwanted parts.

5, the final repair

Continue to use the intact parts to repair the gaps in the photos until all the damaged parts of the photos are patched to the desired state. If the photo fades extremely badly, then you need to use a layer mask to increase the saturation of the photo.

6. Add color to the photo

Designers who appreciate monochrome beauty may be less inclined to add more color to the photo. But if you want the Black-and-white photo to change color, read on.

You must always start from a larger area such as clothing. Create a selection by using the Pen tool to circle the path of the shaded area. Create a color balance mask for the layer (click the half black and half white circular icon at the bottom of the layers panel, and then adjust the levels/curves/color balance). Move the slider to adjust the effect you want. For similar color adjustments to other areas, you can make the photos colorful.

7, Done!

Using an optional color mask is also a choice of coloring. Apply it to more subtle photo elements until the desired effect is reached.

Now you have a picture that's been fixed to the most irksome. If you want to fix old photos, try it!
