    can somebody make this castle look a bit spooky for my school project?

    I put a watermark on my photo since I agree with IamSam. If your school assignment was to use photoshop to make a picture spooky, then we shouldn't be doing this for you. If it is school work, then it wasn't that hard to do. I'll give you a hint that the Nik collection of tools did half of...

    Uneven fading over old photo

    I am trying to restore this photo. I think it is over 90 years old, so, not surprisingly, age has taken its toll and the photo is quite faded. I thought that I could still see details, and therefore I could bring this back to life, but I think I'm hitting the limit of my limited skills. The...

    How to create coloring book pages from photos

    Here is my attempt. I think the OP was looking for a B&W image that could be colored in the old fashion way (before photoshop). This was just done in the known method of bluring, sharpening, saturating, poster edges, and then applying the photocopy filter, so I'm not illustrating anything...

    Black, white, gray.

    Change The color of LOGO

    Is this what you mean? Does it have to strictly be black and white? Or can you have shades of gray?

    Photo Retouching/Restoration Practice 4

    So, I may or may not have achieved a good result in this exercise, but I suspect that I did it wrong. I am really surprised that people haven't been critical of the write-up I did earlier. I don't think I follow how the pros do things. IamSam illustrated how he used multiple layers rather...

    Photo Retouching/Restoration Practice 4

    I smoothed the skin more in this one. Is it too much? I also whitened the eyes. The picture was either flawed or his eye was blood shot. Either way, I think they look better without the mark.

    Photo Retouching/Restoration Practice 4

    There are still a good deal of micro flaws in the shirt and the face, so you can't blow this one up too much in the state that it is in, but I am stopping for now. Here is my picture.

    Photo Retouching/Restoration Practice 4

    Rather than post my end result, I'll write down the steps that I take (or would take) so that other can see and critique more than just the final output. IamSam has taken a more visual route to showing step by step, but I am not diligent enough to do such a fine job of illustrating the...

    Faded picture

    This is a tough one. You can tease some separation between the background and the foreground using the curve tool. I then used a good deal of sharpening and noise reduction, but in doing so, it damages the face. I think you would just have to use the healing tool liberally. After playing...

    Remove Gray Speckles from Old Photo

    I repeated my effort using the method suggested by thebestcpu. It was far easier and I think it achieved a better result than my attempt. At least I've learned a couple of new tricks. Here is what I was quickly able to achieve using this approach.

    Remove Gray Speckles from Old Photo

    Thanks for the guidance. I hadn't thought of using one color channel. It might have been the easier route to go than what I did. I may try to do it again using that approach. I kept searching for tips and found this page: http://photo-repair.com/DRBookPromo/DR_Excerpt3.htm In it, it talks...

    Remove Gray Speckles from Old Photo

    I am trying to restore this photo for myself and other family members. It looks like it has a speckled fog, or gray water marks over much of the photo. Look at the bottom third of the photo to see what I mean. Other than using the healing tool on each spot, is there a photoshop trick to...

    Restoring clothing in old photo

    Thank you all for the the tips. Based on these ideas, here is where I landed: I did want to keep the photo close to the original rather than replacing the suit with another image. Even after cloning/healing and playing with the levels a lot, there were a number of areas where detail...

    Restoring clothing in old photo

    I am a novice at restoring photos, but I've tried with my limited skills to bring some old family photos back to life. This is the scan that I was given by a distant cousin of an old photo. This is what I've been able to make of it. I don't know what to do next. The man's suit looks...
