Step
1: Trunk full of old photos...
and suddenly it's time for
a real world try at removing
dust and scratches. Luckily,
Photoshop has a great way
to do this |
|
|
 |
Step
2: First of all, use the Dust
and Scratches filter-- I'm
using the large dark splotch
on the cheek as my guide |
|
|
 |
Step
3: On this image, 6 pixels
seems about right, so I hit
OK and... |
|
|
 |
Step
4: ... I have a blurred image
of the original-- but with
no blotches. I'm going to
use the History brush to "paint
out" the scratches, so I need
to make a snapshot-- click
on the little triangle at
the top of the History palette
to take a snapshot |
|
|
 |
Step
5: Here's the important part--
tap on the original image
(in this case, Black Hat.jpg).
Then, set the source as Snapshot
1 by clicking in the little
box to the left of the Snapshot
1 icon. Now, paint gently
over the splotches and scratches
with the History Brush-- the
Wacom pressure sensitive pen
gives you the control to get
as much or as little as you
want. |

Step
6: And here you go-- cleaned
up and ready for the public
again… |
