Module 5 - Photo Retouch Part 2 - Final Edits

 

Module 5: Photo Retouch Final



This week’s assignment was a personally rewarding one.  I chose to restore an old picture of my mother, who passed away when I was nine.  This picture was taken in front of my grandmother’s house in West Virginia.  It brought back memories of traveling down there to see the family. 

 To restore this picture, I decided to keep it black and white to retain it’s originality.  Doing so, I utilized three Photoshop retouching tools.  The first thing I did was copy the picture so that all changes would be made to the layers above the original.  I then adjusted each of the levels (RGB) to bring out the black and white colors.  I used the healing brush and the clone stamp to make minor corrections. For the majority of the restoration, I used the spot healing brush, which did and amazing job.
