Restore an old photograph















Restoring old picture-
After scanning an old photo onto my computer and then uploading onto Photoshop i already knew which tools to use and had previously known how to do this on Photoshop, i first used the spot healing brush in order to get rid of any dust marks on the photograph this tool simply copied part of the photo which was clear and pasted over the dust mark. Also using saturation which gave an almost sepia look to which then through clicking on image then auto colour to give the picture an instant blast of colour to which i then played around with using brightness and contrast settings to get the right level of brightness and colour in the photo.

Question for reflection - The question was how far should you go when restoring, my answer to this is that i think you should go as far as i did as if start to use to many tools on the picture and changing it to much the picture looks to edited where as restoring it you simply want it to look natural but better quality to which i think i achieved with my picture.
