Description

Relive past memories while becoming a pro at photo restoration!! It can be so disappointing looking through old photos only to find out that they haven't aged well.

This course is a follow-up from my previous course 'Photo Restoration techniques in Adobe Photoshop 2020' and will demonstrate some more advanced tools and methods to restore badly damaged photos. The photo in question is missing certain parts so we will have to rebuild these!

My name is Jonathon Parker and I am a Visual Effects and Motion Graphics lecturer from Wales, UK. Throughout my lecturing career, I have developed a keen interest in photo restoration and have been restoring clients' photos for the past 2 years.

This class is designed by a teacher, for you, the student. This is an advanced level restoration and we will be looking at some more advanced techniques in this class as we rebuild missing parts of the photo including one of the subjects face.

This class will teach you the following:

  • How to properly set up your Photoshop Project file

  • How to properly analyse your photo to see the full extent of the damage

  • A non-destructive workflow enabling you to go back to previous versions of your image

  • The Dust and Scratched feature

  • The clone stamp tool,

  • The spot healing brush tool,

  • The stamp tool

  • Content-Aware Fill

  • Colour correction techniques

  • Puppet Warp Tool

So, what are you waiting for?! Either download the project files or grab one of your own photos and let's go!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner to intermediate users of Photoshop
