Want to restore or alter your own photos? We can offer you an introduction to image restoration.

The tutorial is based on Adobe PhotoShopCS2 but the principles of renovation and manipulation remain the same regardless of which program is used provided your program is capable of producing layers.

The examples include:

  • Cloning (Rubber Stamp Tool) - with the Clone Stamp Tool you can remove cracks and dust spots and even people from a picture.
  • Removing a pattern - scanning images sometimes results in a pattern of dots appearing all over the picture. This happens with printed material and photos with certain finishes.
  • Colour Correction - colour correction is a potential minefield! Faded colour pictures from even the recent past are common and, since colour is so subjective, they can be a very difficult challenge to meet.
  • An Eye for an Eye - repairs to eyes can be very difficult. Obviously, in a close up portrait, a complete repair has to be made but in a group shot it is often possible to cheat a little.
  • Fading Away - selective correction of a faded picture.
  • Two into One - combining two pictures into one.
  • Taking out the Background - placing the subject on a new background.
  • Heads you Win - replace a baby’s face as he was looking the wrong way in the original family photo.
  • Montage - create a montage of pictures

PLUS the Imagine IT SEAL OF APPROVAL CHALLENGE! a chance to put your new learned skills into practice!

Lessons are in no particular order of difficulty but each will provide practice in various skills. They include screenshots from PhotoShopCS2 to assist you.
