Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a 19th-century dog photo that was once faded, dusty, scratched, folded, and water-stained, now clean with contrast and fresh sepia tones. Let's get started. Welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Today we're combining several retouching techniques to restore old photos. This practice photo was intentionally damaged from a public domain photo, complete with dust, scratches, folds, and water stains.

Step 1: Assessing the damage

Open the damaged old photo. Zoom in and take a look. There are hundreds of dust spots, thin winding scratches, one long diagonal fold, brown water stains on the dog's head, and very faded contrast. We'll fix them one by one, starting with the most prominent ones.

Step 2: Dust & Scratches for dust

Duplicate the layer and name it 'dust'. Select Filter, Noise, Dust and Scratches. Increase the radius until the dust spots and thin scratches disappear, about 5 pixels, then increase the threshold around 30 to keep the grass and fur textures intact. Click OK.

Step 3: Folds with Remove and Spot Healing

Create a new layer named 'repair'. Select the Spot Healing Brush with the Sample OL layer checked. Brush along the diagonal fold from top to bottom gradually, then on the remaining white scratches.

Step 4: Water stains

The brown stains on the dog's head are color changes, not texture. Select the stain area with a feathered 30-pixel brush, then add Hue/Saturation and lower the saturation until the stain blends with the photo's color.

Step 5: Levels for contrast

Old photos lose their deep black and clean white. Add Levels at the very top. Drag the black triangle to the right until it reaches the start of the histogram, and the white triangle to the left until it reaches the end of the histogram. The contrast and depth of the photo return.

Step 6: Sepia tone

Add Black and White, then check Tin with a golden brown color. The photo now has even and warm sepia tones, typical of well-preserved antique photos. Compare it with the damaged photo at the beginning by turning off all the repair layers.

Step 7: Comparing and saving

Save the PSD and export JPG. Done. We've used dust and scratches for dust, spot healing for folds and scratches, hue saturation for water stains, levels for contrast, and black and white tint for sepia tones. In the next episode, we will retouch product photos for an online catalog. Need to edit product photos for marketplaces, retouch photos, design posters, or create social media content?
