Whether you have problem slides, negatives, prints or digital files, this book is your step-by-step guide to restoring them to their original condition—and even making them look better than they ever did before.
You’ll begin the process by learning how best to convert your images to digital files, and what hardware and software you’ll need to manipulate them. Next, the authors introduce you to the basic tools needed for retouching in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Elements.
Once you’ve learned the tools, you’ll discover how to put them to use. Complete instructions are included for: restoring faded images, correcting exposure problems and color balance problems, removing scratches, dealing with processing errors, and reducing red-eye. Also covered are elminating creases and tears, reducing reflections, and minimizing the appearance of grain.
Finally, you’ll learn the best techniques for outputting your restored images—to prints, film, on the Internet, and more—so you can share and enjoy them for years to come.
