9 Tips on How to Use Photo Restoration

Enhance Composition by Removing Unwanted Elements

To do so double click on the image thumbnail, you can now enhance the image by fixing all insignificant details in the border. You can also crop or straighten the alignment of the whole image. There is no hard and fast rule to use one prescribed software tool. Most commonly Adobe Photoshop is used to edit the image successfully. The tool consists of many useful options under the tool panel. Always make sure to select the original ratio to keep the shape of the photograph in its place. To remove unwanted details drag the crop handle on the areas keeping the dimension intact.

 

Rotate the shot to straighten the frame

 

To straighten the frame, move the cursor outside the crop box to rotate the image. Drag the image making it tilt to its parallel grid. In some cases, image edges may appear transparent but you shouldn’t worry because the changes can be reverted again if you like. Once you have reached your final settings you must click on the “OK” option to save the changes made to the image and move forward toward other editorial tasks.

 

Adjust Contrast for Clarity

 

 

If the image has flat color tones or dim contrasts, you can rightfully adjust them with careful editing skills. You can correct your image contrasts and replace them with richer ones by clicking “New Adjustment Layer”. You must play with the tones and save changes until the desired contrast is achieved. By dragging the slider left you can easily reduce contrast and by dragging it towards the right you can increase image contrast. It is as simple as this! Likewise, you can also adjust highlights and mid-tones of images by dragging the sliders adjacent to the image contrast.

 

Convert Image into Smart Objects

 

Professional editors before editing an image create a copy of the original image. This serves as a backup plan in case if anything goes wrong during the editing process. Also, before and after image results make it easy to detect change. To go about this you can create a duplicate of “Layer 0” i.e. another “Layer 0 copy”. By using the “Convert to Smart Filter” option you can efficiently filter the results and hit “Ok”. The layer changes are resultantly converted to Smart Object. Now you can remove scratches by selecting “Dust & Scratches” under the “Noise” icon.

 

Disable Filters to Adjust Sharpness

 

When you fill in the scratches and dust spots there is a chance of some detail being overlooked or getting lost during the process. The ideal way is to use a smart filter layer from the Layer Panel section to perform the perfect inversion. The filter helps in the prevention of any change against the black color. Now paint white on selected image areas that require sharpening.

 

Remove Dust and Minute Imperfections with Smart Filter

 

Choose the Brush Tool from the toolbox with a rounded tip. Now steadily make the foreground white. Afterward, select black color as Smart Filter and sprinkle it over the white background. This action will cover all dust spots, stray fingerprints, and white scratches existing within your image.

 

Fixing Simple Background Flaws

 

If your image is worn out or happens to have much deeper scratches and scruffs. You can use the “Scratches & Dust Filter” function from the toolbar. The only problem is that the setting does not allow the elimination of overlapping artifacts in front of faces and clothes.

 

Using Patch Tools for Precision Blending

 

You can also select a patch from the menu and place it over Layer 1. This will cover up even the minute signs of scratches on transparent areas. Afterward, these patches can be effectively be blended in by dragging around the cursor over the patchy areas. In case if the editable image has larger scratches then it is preferred to use smaller patches to cover them properly.
