PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL: Photo Restoration, How to repair and restore damaged Photographs

[@renkessler5476]

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!

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you very much! If you have any suggestions to share, please feel free! :)

[@BoysGotit]

That’s what’s so great about photoshop their is no mastering photoshop it’s an art and everyone achieves their art differently

[@BURTBROWN]

BOY, you point out a lot of small details and tricks that APPLY TO REGULAR PHOTO PROCESSING!!!!!! I really glad I watched this and subscribed!!! Going to color next!!!! THANKS!!!

I can’t believe how simple you made this video. Awesome!!!

[@samiburnette1721]

Wonderful tutorial. I have many old family photos to restore, and this helped tremendously. Keep making these tutorials - so very helpful!

[@truthinvestment8962]

Excellent tutorial and presentation.

[@brendaweaver6404]

Thank you so much. I've scanned my parents wedding album from the early 90s and there were so many specs I needed to fix. This was incredibly helpful

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you very much, I'm glad it was of use! :)

[@Thunderclouification]

I needed to get rid of creases and spots on a photo of my mom for her obituary. I was worried my old version of Photoshop could not do it, but your very clear instructions had me producing a nice job in little time. Thank you!

[@JBColourisation]

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it's always nice to hear when a video has been useful to someone and I was really happy to read it :)

[@MichaelProstka]

I've never seen that one with spot healing on a new layer - brilliant!

[@GeorgePlaysGTA]

Excellent tutorial video! I CANNOT believe the improvement after all of the fix ups. I saw the fixed up one first on the other video and i was blown away when i saw how much you'd fixed! worth the watch

[@JBColourisation]

Thanks once again for the kind words George!

Thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial. I recently set out to color and restore some old family photos and their channel is the one that is helping me the most to understand and do it well. Thank you so much for everything.

[@JBColourisation]

You're very welcome indeed! I'm glad that i was of service. :)

You saved my bacon in college , your tutorials are amazing!! Thank you soooo much!!!

[@sandracartwright2942]

Amazing Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate how a photo can be restored & updated ... Precious photos and memories of generation of family Members could have been lost without your Expert Skills N Professional Photo Restoration.. it was certainly Extraordinary to see the Recreation and Restoration of this Photo, Again Thank You so Very much

[@oliviaherrell7867]

My family just found a photo of my Great Aunt as a young woman that my Great Uncle carried in his wallet for many years. This video is going to help me restore it for my family. Thank you!

[@DylanOrtiz-o9s]

most helpful video I've seen. bro just saved me.

[@hermanlopez2945]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing tips and tricks.

[@petersolomon5227]

An orthodox, preferable way to restore old photographs. I have some affection for semi-automated AI CG tools. However, they need to be used with care and subtlety. Well done JBColourisation.

[@spacialkking]

This is so helpful for my school assignment 👏 late to the party but you're saving a brother out here , thank you

[@miguel-uo9pw]

I am very glad that I stumbled upon your video

[@QuietStorm710]

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!

[@SU4AB]

Beautiful work! It's so therapeutic to watch.

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you so much! :)

[@JenniferBaron-g8q]

Great job I have an old black and white photo of my dad who is deceased. Many moons ago I took a night course on photography and did some restoration that way but will try to further improve through the software. Thanks for the tutorial

[@bubbasfavs9226]

Excellent tutorial. I’ll certainly be using these techniques. Thanks

[@gauravrahul4917]

That was simply amazing..

[@martinclift3846]

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]

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. :)

[@user-mani7827]

your the best!!! thx!!!

[@kelleybrown3990]

Thank you that was fabulous! I am actually going to restore my photos and hand color them like the old days. Can you tell my which version of Photos shop that is best for me to purchase if much of my work will be restoring old photos? Thank you again Great!

[@JBColourisation]

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.

[@twirlspin7143]

I am curious if I am missing something or if the tool changed in the past 3 years. Couldn'd find unconstrained mode in my crop tool but a google search showed this: To free crop an image in Photoshop, select the Crop Tool (C), and set the crop preset to “Ratio” or “W x H x Resolution” in the upper setting bar. Next, press “clear” to remove any constraints applied to your crop preset. Now you can freely crop your image without conforming to a certain dimension. Assuming that is the same thing. Anyway thanks for pointing me in a direction that can help a novice do something productive!

[@eddieralvarez5674]

it works good

[@Zangelleable]

Hi! Very great tutorial, but just one question. At 8:55, the black line above the eye seems to appear very suddenly for healing brush mode. How come? How did it happen? Montage of did i miss something? Thanks!

Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial. I am in the process of creating a Bob Book of my family, not only from transparencies (I have a Nikon Coolscan) but old 120 prints back to the forties. My knowledge of photo software manipulation is weak. My question is, would Lightroom have much the same ability to heal & correct as you demonstrate with Photoshop? Thanks in anticipation.
