I recently helped my Grandma with this old photo she had of her Mother, that had been creased and stained. She wanted to take it to a photography shop that can get the crease out. But i imagined it would cost a lot of money, so i offered to do it using the one and only photoshop!
This is what the photo looked like before....
I scanned this onto my computer and opened it with Photoshop. I used the 'Stamp' tool and the 'Healing Brush' tool to edit the scratched line and the impurities in the photo.
I used this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajdbygjrayY to help me with restoring the photo, it was very helpful and I would recomend Gavin Hoey's Photoshop videos to anyone who needs some help or tips.
So after 3 hours of working on the photo this is what it came out like...
I'm very proud with this, I think that it came out really well and the scratched line is hardly visible. The tea stain took a long time to get out, but i managed to erase it, and although it looks a bit fuzzy, I think its hardly noticeable.
So my Grandma got her photo fixed for absaloutley nothing, and thats down to the genius that is Photoshop.
