My Photoshop Tutorials

[Rachel Scand]

Thanks Wendy not sure whos else is watching them on this forum and if there helping anyone

Like Marion, I've not looked at them all but it's really good to see how other people do their restores.

I have watched (or rather skipped through) the restore of Debbie's pic ~~ the one with texture where you use an FFT filter.

I don't have an FFT filter, so when I did my restore I just used the normal stuff. I'll post a sepia version on here in case it's of interest.

So Rachel, are you going to explain how you did it, as I don't have the FFT Filter either.

[Britec]

Well When I do these tutorials I just show what ways and ideas on how to get things done, its not the only way and not always the best way but its hard because I can't do a full restore because videos are only 10 mins long, thats all the time youtube allow. I suppose I can do a simple restore in 10 mins but it will only be a mild restore nothing that is to damaged.

But as long as they help people thats all that matters.

yeah in that video where i done debbies photo and removed texture from paper I did not do no restore on it just done texture removal did not have time to finish the restoration

Thanks for the tutorial Brian.

Tried all the ways you've said on Margaret's photos, but still not happy with the results.

Will have to keep practising.

If you don't have an AppleMac you should be able to download a freebie FFT filter.

I looked last year when there was a pic with a big problem which refused to respond to anything normal.
That sort of pic comes up so rarely that it wouldn't have been worth my while spending money.

I can't explain what I did with Debbie's pic because I don't remember
Probably used a bit of noise reduction and then got going with the usual tools ~~~ clone, blur, sharpen, dodge, burn etc. ~~~ that's what I do.

I remain non-techy (Dumbo) but I do need to move on a bit this year

Hi Wendy
Had a look at Brian's Colour Cast (part 1) and have tried it out on this one of Margaret's ~~~ overdid the contrast, but it works !!!

[WendyPusey]

I tried Brians ways too, but I can't get rid of the yellow sky in that one.


Mine is no where near as smooth and clear as yours either.

[Rachel Scand]

I did have to paint some blue on it

Getting things clear and smooth comes with practice.
You're doing very well

I would not practice on Margaret's photos Wendy they are in real bad condition and hard to restore, try to practice on something with light colour cast first.
