These photos were taken from a very good tutorial in a favourite magazine of mine, Photoshop Creative. I believe it was
Issue 15 a (12 page masterclass).

Back issue still available!
There are many techniques to this restoration process but I mainly used the “clone tool” to do the major restoration work.
Small dust and scratches can be reduced using the “Dust and Scratches Filter” but please note it can make areas of your
picture slightly blurred!
I have attached a (before) picture that is ripped and marked, it is also available with the tutorial in the magazine I mentioned
above. The (after) picture is the one I have personally restored and it is not included with the magazine tutorial. It took me a
couple of hours to get everything looking the way it does, although it can be improved, and cleaned up further, but this is a quick
example of what can be achieved!
Cheers,
Lee
