Photoshop Elements Tutorials For Beginners - Elements To Restore And Repair Old Photos
Photographs are the best tool we have to relive our cherished memories and remember loved ones who are no longer with us. Unfortunately photographs don?t age well and over time their quality diminishes. Because photos are printed on paper they are often affected by things such as handling, light, moisture, dust, and scratches. Regrettably, these things can ruin our photos and prevent them from lasting through the generations.
Unfortunately many people have been faced with the question of what to do with photographs that are torn or have been ruined by moisture. Do you simply toss them in the trash and risk losing the memories they hold or do you spend loads of money to have the photo restored? Fortunately you don?t have to do either. You can use photo editing software to restore the photos to their original condition.
Choosing the digital photo editing program that is right for you is not as difficult a choice as it might seem. There are a variety on the market however the best and easiest to use is without a doubt Adobe Elements. Once you have chosen your program the first thing you want to do is to create a digital image of your photograph so you can then edit it using your computer. Converting your photo from its paper version to a digital version is as simple as scanning it into your computer. Once the photograph is scanned into your computer you can begin the photo editing process.
After you have opened Adobe Elements you can go to file and open to retrieve the newly digitized photograph. I actually recommend you create a copy, by clicking on file and save as then renaming the photograph, so that you have a backup image on the off chance that you make a mistake. Now you can begin to edit them using a few of the tools available in Elements.
Please understand that photo restoration doesn't necessarily require any specialized training or specific skills. The tools included in Elements are easy to use and you will quickly become adept at them. Tools you will use most often with photo restoration include the smudge, blur and sharpen tool.
I am going to give you a breakdown of each of the tools and how you can use them to restore your photographs. The smudge tool is helpful when you want to eliminate any scratches that are on the original photo. You can also use the smudge tool to remove any object in the background you wish to eliminate as well as correct photos that were not properly focused.
The next tool you can use is the blur tool. The blur tool allows you to add tone to photos that have been lightened by the sun; in essence you are making them darker. Using the blur tool you are adding color to retrieve the brightness of the original photo.
The sharpen tool is the last, most commonly used tool in photo restoration. If any parts of the photo are blurred, whether it is in the original photo or from scanning it in, this tool will fix those bits.
Keep your cherished memories alive and well, restore them using Adobe Elements.
