One of the best uses of Photoshop is to improve an old photograph. Photoshop lets you adjust color, remove scratches, colorize, and more. By the time you finish, your old photo will look like new!

• Digital retouching and repair techniques using Photoshop tools such as the clone stamp, healing brushes, and the patch tool.

• Image and resolution corrections, such as cropping, straightening and setting the correct print resolution.

• Tonal range adjustments and correction, including the use of levels, curves, and brightness and contrast as well as tools such as the dodge and burn tools.

• Digital sepia toning and hand-coloring techniques for an aged look, using Photoshop tools and techniques including working with color, using brushes, layers, and blending modes.

What to Do:

Find 1 old photo or portrait with significant problems (scratches, dust, bad color, blemishes, etc.). You may scan a photo if you wish.

Use photo retouching techniques (cloning, color levels, filters, healing brush, painting in color mode etc.) to improve a scanned photo. You may also use other Photoshop techniques.

1. Retouch and repair the image as cleanly and carefully as you can. Be careful to avoid destroying any texture or grain patterns.

2. Adjust the tonal range of the image as appropriate.

3. Selectively colorize your corrected photo using soft, transparent colors (to keep an aged look).

4. Use a "retouch" layer to perform your corrections, and/or adjustment layers.

5. Save your as PhotoRetouch1, then create an 11x14 blank page and add both the before and after retouched image.
