  • In this video, I show you how I restore photographs using Adobe Photoshop. Whether you're working to repair cherished family portraits or if you'd just like to see historical photos shine again like new, this video is for you!
    My non destructive editing method broadly involves using Photoshop's crop and healing brush tools, along with some subtle brightness adjustment using a curves adjustment layer.
    I made a companion tutorial where I colour the restored photograph. Which can be found here if you're interested: • PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL: Ph...
    More can be found about the original photograph here: www.loc.gov/item/2016708602/

    I have been doing restorations for several years. It is interesting how you and I use different techniques to achieve the same results. As well, it is always good to see a fresh approach a problem. It gives me the chance to learn something new. Good job!

    Currently completing Cert IV Photography and your video was recommended as part of an assignment to restore old and damaged photographs. I'm an older student and technology can sometimes be a little harder for me to grasp straight up, usually because too many assume you already know how to work everything, which I don't. Restoration is a subject I enjoy a lot and would like to do more of later so this was informative and quite easy to follow. It taught more than my class in the use of some of the tools and options which will already help with the assignment where I was having a little difficulty so thank you for that. What I will ask is whether some scanners are better than others for getting the original image loaded for restoration. Otherwise, excellent instruction and will definitely look into your other videos. Thank you!

    I came across your channel whilst looking for Paintsop Pro X9 tutorials. I must say that you have taught me mor about repair and colorisation than any PSP tutorial. Sadly, some of what I have learned from you today, I have no idea how to replicate on PSP. and purchasing PS is not an option I can afford.
    I can, however, recommend your tutorials for their clear and concise delivery. Excellent and thank you.

    • @JBColourisation
      @JBColourisation  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for your kind comments! I did before make a tutorial for colourisation using the free software GIMP but i do really need to do one for restoration also as I really believe that you don't need paid software to get fantastic results. I have in mind to do some tutorials in the future for cheap software and apps also, in addition to free alternatives and I'll keep Paintshop Pro in mind. Thank you for the suggestion. :)

    • @JBColourisation
      @JBColourisation  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm glad it was helpful! Photoshop generally has two versions now, the full Creative Cloud or 'CC' version where you have to pay a monthly subscription to use and the standalone one off purchase 'Elements' version. Elements is generally designed more for a home consumer purpose, such as cleaning up family photos and basic design work and 'CC' is more designed for professional use. At least in the UK, the Elements 2020 version is around £70 one off and the 'CC' monthly version is £10 a month, on and on subscription, if you get the 'Photography' plan (Which is weirdly cheaper than getting Photoshop by itself and includes Adobe Lightroom). For purely restoration purposes I suspect the one off fee 'Elements' version would probably do everything you need. I've only ever briefly used that version however, so I wouldn't want to lead you down a false path. What I WILL say is that there are multiple tutorials using Adobe elements to clean up Photos which I'll suggest checking out, also 'Elements' and 'CC' both have 30 day free trials. So I'd generally suggest checking out these videos, as the working method is a bit different (Although the theory part is the same) and giving one or both of the trials a go to see how you feel about them. Sorry I can't be of more help! :) The videos I'd suggest checking out are. 'How to Repair and Restore an Old Damaged Photo in Photoshop Elements Tutorial' by 'How to Gurus' and 'How to restore old photographs in Photoshop Elements' by Digital Camera World.

    @garym6315 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So for someone who has only ever used, and is still using, an old photoshop elements...the healing tool is a combination of the Clone tool and the spot healing? It samples a nearby area, but also blends it? That's pretty good. I've been restoring for years using my own limited software and self taught skills so basically use spot healing, clone painting etc.

    • @JBColourisation
      @JBColourisation  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Sorry, for not doing so. it's probably because I tend to change the size and hardness depending on the detail in question and it's become rather automatic. Generally speaking I tend to keep the healing brush quite soft and the only time I tend to use a harder setting is when I'm trying to replicate a detail with a really solid edge. For the most part however, i do just keep it soft so that the repaired details are gently blended in.

    • @JBColourisation
      @JBColourisation  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Robert, I actually made a tutorial titled 'PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL: How to use Histogram and Curves to Repair Faded Images.' th-cam.com/video/fEu4hRHh_v4/w-d-xo.html which may hopefully help you! For edges which are disproportionately faded it's possible to add layer masks to curves layers, as shown in that tutorial, in the same way I do with the colour layers in the colourisation tutorial. That way you can adjust only the contrast of selected areas of the picture as needed. Experimenting with adding a 'motion blur' on the mask, in the direction of an uneven fade as you mention will also allow such masked contrast adjustments to fade out more gradually. J
