PHOTO RESTORATION.

note: the following pictures are not mine (am not yet born when these pics were taken. hehehe!). 1 is taken at a certain "Ronnie's Studio" and the other 3 by unknown photographers/studio during the 70s. My mom-in-law have me restore these "classic" photos from her old photo album.

thanks for the appreciation guys.

@ marlix & tolz...there's actually no fixed procedure sa restoration/processing kay it all depends unsa ka-grabe and damage sa picture. so far, here's what I did:

- used STAMP and HEALING tools to fix the folds, peeled off surfaces and other markings. used various brush sizes depending on the location of the part to be fixed. for the more finer / dust-like unwanted markings...I apply either "DUST & SCRATCHES" & "DESPECKLE" filters. the objective is to make the "healed" areas look seamless and natural looking as compared to the surrounding area.

- if dili ko ganahan sa pagka-sepia sa original picture, i DESATURATE it so I can apply my own "timplada" of the sepia tone using VARIATIONS.

- then to wrap things up, I adjust BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST, then I applied vignette/lomo effect (especially portraits) to make the main subject standout even more.

I'm sure you guys are very familiar with this process...

@necrotic freak:

Do the following in photoshop:
1. Use the magnetic selection tool (in this case, selecting the bracelet)
2. Use quick mask to clean the excess selection
3. Turn off quick mask and then Ctrl+shift+i (to invert selection)
4. Ctrl+U, play around saturation
5. If you like what you see, save

Hope this helps...
