Photo Restoration

In Photo Restoration: From Snapshots to Great Shots, author Robert Correll carefully guides students through the process of restoring their photos, teaching them the most effective techniques to preserve and repair their damaged or aging images. Organized based on a helpful photo restoration workflow, the book will feature Adobe Photoshop as the primary software solution of choice, with coverage of Photoshop Elements and Lightroom as well. They can read the book from start to finish or quickly access the information they need for the specific photo problems at hand. The book will start by covering the basics, such as how to evaluate how a photo is damaged and then move to the appropriate solution; how to properly handle and scan/import their photos; and how to use Photoshop as a photo retouching tool, with information on how Photoshop Elements and Lightroom can also play a role in restoring their images. The book then dives into specific issues that arise with old or damaged photos, such as removal of dust, scuff marks, and stains; repairing actual damage such as creases or missing corners; correcting color-related problems like blue or yellow-tinted images and oversaturation; and improving the contrast and brightness of both color and black-and-white images. Finally, the book finishes up by showing students how to add a special touch of greatness and creativity to their photos, in addition to printing and archiving.
