Restoring and Repairing Your Photos Using Photoshop Elements
Author: DavidPeters Total views: 6 Word Count: 299
If you are wondering whether you should restore your old photographs the first thing you must decide is which problem to fix first. At times it is easy to decide which should be fixed first, some photos might have tears or you may have a photo where your subjects have a bad case of red eye. However, some photos will have a variety of problems and they must be corrected in the proper sequence so when you solve one problem you may be correcting an entirely different problem. Here are a few problems you might attack.
* The first thing you want to do is fix any structural problems. Torn or ripped sections should be scanned and repaired using Photoshop Elements tools so that you will have a whole picture to work with in order to correct other problems.
* The next thing you will want to do is to correct any contrast issues. Are your photographs too light or dark? This can be easily overcome using the Brightness/Saturation levels in Photoshop Elements.
* The next things you may want to correct are simple problems such as "red eye" and dust spots with the Red Eye reduction tool.
* After adjusting the contrast, you can now tackle any color adjustments you wish to make using adjustment tools such as the color picker. You can lighten or darken any existing color, or change the color completely to suit your taste.
* Then remove or replace any content you do no want in the photo. Simply replace those undesirable objects with a more pleasing background.
All of these repairs can be easily accomplished using an inexpensive program such as Photoshop Elements. Be brave and experiment with your photo editing program. You can always go back and undo anything that does not return the results that you desire.
