Description

Welcome to your Photo Restoration Masterclass! In this course, you'll learn everything you need to restore old photos.We'll start by preparing your photos—scanning them onto your computer, cropping, and straightening.Next, we'll move on to cleanup. Using the Inpainting Brush and Clone Brush, you'll learn how to easily repair tears and scratches that have accumulated over time.Once cleanup is done, we'll focus on lighting. Old photos often become dull and faded, so I'll show you multiple techniques to improve the lighting and restore contrast.After lighting, we'll tackle color. We'll begin with basic color correction, then move on to fixing more challenging color issues.We'll also cover small but important details, like reducing noise and removing unwanted textures from your photos.Then comes one of my favorite parts of photo restoration: recoloring! You'll learn how to add color to black and white images to make them truly come alive.Finally, we’ll wrap up with several practice projects. These will help you reinforce everything you've learned throughout the course.This course comes with all the example images that are shown in the videos.
