Over the years I've been writing many Adobe Photoshop tutorials and recently been writing for additional categories such as Cinema 4D and CSS. Now since I helped a lot of people with my tutorials it just seems right to have the option for members to give something back to the Celox design community by submitting there self-written tutorials to this site, keep in mind that it's not a tutorial engine instead all submitted tutorials will be re-published on this site.

Members that will submit there tutorials on this site will be awarded with a link back to there own website on the specific tutorial's page, this link will be in text format so it will most definitely improve your search engine ranking.

Intro:

Photo Restoration is huge area, because there are so many types of problems you can encounter. In this tutorial, we’ll work this photo of an old lady somehow some part of the photo was scratched off and has a little stain on the face and hair.

Step 1:

First open the picture in Photoshop, evaluate the photo and make a plan.

Step 2:

Before you do anything, make sure to duplicate the layer. Turn off the eye button of the original photo so that it is not visible.

Step 3:

Zoom in closely now, choose your rubber stamp tool (not the pattern tool) and a small soft brush. Follow one bit of hair up a wee bit, alt-click there to define your source for your stamp and then follow the hair strand back down to the scratch. Drag your stamp across the scratch. Keep doing that all along the scratch – alt-click for source, click for target.

Do the same for the stain on his face, making your source for your rubber stamp very close to your target.

Step 4:

Finish it by adjusting the color of your photo.
