Introduction to Adobe Photoshop II

In this session I eperimented with contrast, colour balance, hue & saturation, histogram, levels and curves. I attached some of the images I modified to this post. Some images in the examples were too dull colourwise and needed some added saturation, also colour balance was modified on some of them because on older photographs there was a yellowish tint.

Repairing broken images.

The following images were repaired using the Clone Tool, Dust & Scratch Filter, and Healing Brush.

Cloning/healing brush to repair these images:

First I actually had to rotate the image. Then I used mainly the healiong brush tool, set to a diameter of 10 pixels, on the black and white photograph. I fixed the cracks & tears in the old photo, although to start with I used an excessive brush size and created a lot of smudging.

The third image showed a family portrait which appeared to have been spliced apart. I selected each of the parts of the image with the magnetic lasso tool, and rotated and moved them into place. Visible cracks between the sections remained, however these could be got rid of using the healing brush tool.
