Hey Everyone, It's Gal in 2021 :) As Philippe Perrin pointed out in a comment below (thank you by the way!) make sure the Clone Stamp Tool brush has a hardness of 100%. In the video I made a mistake and it was set at 26% hardness which causes some blur on the image taking away the original res. So be sure to set that hardness to 100% and then the result will be even better.
Hey! So when I'm clicking on Image adjustment, the black and white option is greyed out even though I have converted the Image to Smart object and I have selected the correct Layer
Just watched this a few times & it's given me an idea to try colourise an old photo of my mother and her sister as children. My aunt passed away in 2000 & thought it maybe a nice gift for her for the New Year. Thanks for the tips!
@@PremiereGal Thank you again for this tutorial. Just spend today giving it my first go at colourising a photo of my Grandfather in his Royal Scots Guards Uniform. www.davejay.co.uk/images/gallery/colourised.jpg I'm pretty happy with the result, thanks to your tips. Will be saving this video in my bookmarks! (Looks way over saturated in Firefox for some reason, but Safari it looks great!)
I am from Indonesia, I am here also accepting old photo repairs, I am not studying but learning from sources on TH-cam, thanks for the tutorial I hope this can help me in my work, hopefully you are more awaited other tutorials
I associate the Fedora with Aspergers, but you seem to have an appreciation for 1940s style of dressing. I want to thank you for your video, but I'd like to point out that any repair work that you do should be about preserving everything that's already okay. A smaller stamp tool brush, the healing tool... both these things should be used rather than cutting entire sections to copy and paste. While it saves time, it's not taking care to preserve.
It's so amazing about how I've been doing most of the edits you have done on Microsoft paint for years. Never used Photoshop or anything before. I'm a master of Microsoft paint
your tutorials are some of the best I've seen. You keep a great pace, show close-ups of the tools as you use them, speak slowly and clearly, explain everything you do and why - five stars all the way around. Thank you so much!! I'm now subscribed to your channel.

Very nice. When you're painting and the brush tool is selected, you can hit the bracket keys to quickly change the size of the brush larger and smaller. [ = smaller. ] = larger.

I have a somewhat wild story regarding this topic... When I lived in Crown Heights in Brooklyn a few years back there was a old school photo and print studio. I would pass by it everyday. I would pop in here and there and see if they ever needed help with anything. One day the owner gave me this extremely old print and asked what I could do... We scanned it in and luckily I was able to work some magic... Pretty crazy how powerful Photoshop is haha. Great video!
New subscriber here, I found you through your stop motion video now I have to watch everything!!!! Thank you so much for being so knowledgeable and personable! Love it. Sending all the Likes.
I was looking to remove some white color banding and lots of bright white dots, in a photo from around the 30's. I found your tutorial and was able to instead color the photo, which got rid of the bad areas and also gave me an 'amazing' new color photo. I wish I could share it.
@@PremiereGal feel free to check it out here. It was my first attempt so not 100% but I'm fairly happy with it. www.deviantart.com/da-bacon-master/art/Upscale-and-Restore-Attempt-1-866653870
This was a great tutorial! Very informative and helpful! I'm wanting to restire an old black and white photo for my mom, and with this new knowledge I feel much more confident and have a better odea in how to tackle it! I wish all tutorials were like this! You've got a like and new subscriber! Thank you Premiere Gal :)
I enjoyed your video. I've never used patch before, just cloning everything, so that's new for me. I'm restoring an old picture for a friend and it's very washed out, so here goes.
I stumbled upon your channel by accident. Wow, am I glad I did. You explain your video techniques thoroughly and at a reasonable pace. You talk at just the right speed so the viewer can completely understand you concepts. To many others experts in your field talk way to fast, but you are refreshingly different from the rest out there. Thanks for your great videos.
Woow, I def have to practice this. I am in the midst of advancing myself with these images. now I am adding color to mastering my retouching. i love this teaching. thank you
Good tutorial, a little time consuming. When I need the results quickly I do it with Pixbim Object Remover AI and to colorize Color Surprise AI, works in a single click and gives results in seconds.
Thank you so much. There’s so much of photoshop you never use. Plus seeing a different technique may be better. And this is such better. Thank you. I am a subscriber. 😄😄😄
Amazing talent! I’m going to ATTEMPT this to restore photos from the 1920’s to display at my sweet aunt’s 100th birthday celebration in October…. Pray for me! 😉
I did this with a photo of my aunt aged 20 taken in 1950, back in 2002. The photo was badly damaged; but almost perfect when finished. All I had was Photoshop 5.0, and a magazine tut.
Great video. I have found old pictures of my father at his work. What a difference. Wish he could have seen it himself (or is is himselve?). Anyway Thank you very much.
Hi Gal.... your video in Photoshop is amazing. Maybe more on restoring old photos etc. Keep up the good work :-) They are so easy to follow and you make it sound so easy. Love your work
Hi, perhaps I should look to see if you've covered this previously, but I'd like to see other uses you've found for the various blend modes and how to drop out a color like a Chrome-a-key or blue screen... thanks.
Quick tip to change hardness and size of your brush... Hold control and option then drag your brush up or down to change the hardness/softness and drag left or right to change the size of your brush.
Of course there are different ways to do things. Nowadays I could use content aware fill, spot heal and color replacement tool. For this background I would make a path around the person and the chair and either replace the background with a nice gradient or make this gradient blend with the background. As for colors i would do some research on internet to find colors that would match. But before i would do anything I would make a guide to align (rotate) the photo. Usually I would make the eyes align horizontal. And before making a path I will temporary turn up the contrast to see the edges better. Hair is always a problem, so fix that in the end.
Be careful, when you use the clone stamp tool with a brush that's got a 26% hardness, you're degrading the texture ... You're adding blur to the image ...
@@bakedutah8411 When using the clone stamp always put the hardness to 100% percent so that the algorithm properly blends your texture to the surroundings :)
Shes an amateur that would rather sacrifice detail and original photo content for making it modernn. This is not "repair" or restoration, but "replacement." Just ugh.
Fantastic video! i watched a few colorize/photo restoration videos before this one. They were all helpful, but your method by far is my favorite. Even though it takes way longer, your after pic looks way more natural and less cartoony than the other methods.

Could you help me too, I am trying but it's not giving the results.
Awesome
🙂❤️❤️❤️
@@smilydvn5203 how did it work? Did you keep trying or gave up on it?
