 Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2005 10:12 am Post subject: Photo Correction |
 |
|
I have a photo I scanned where one half of the photo has color damage. I can't seem to figure out how to correct one half the photo without making a mess of the good half.
Can anyone direct me in the steps I need to make this photo look better?
Note: I've blacked out the faces to protect their privacy.

Here's a vague example. There's some fine tuning that could be done. The picture is very odd in itself in terms of lighting.

Copy the layer.
Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation
Select reds from the dropdown and drag the saturation slider to the left. Do the same for yellows.
Then take a fuzzy eraser brush and erase the left side of the color corected layer. Then I'd clean it up with the dodge, burn and sponge tools.

Or something like this:

| For future reference, putting a semi transparent splotch over the face wont do much. Maybe a blur would work better! |

I have been using photoshop primarily for photo restoration. I have learned quite a few tricks!
As mentioned, reduce the saturation in the yellows as well as the reds. Be sure to adjust the brightness for each as well, in this case I brought them all the way down.
By removing the red and yellow your skin tones will now be grey. So here I used a layer mask for Color Balance and painted black (removed mask) all the non-skin parts.
To get the man's shirt to all be the same color (we removed the pigment from his left arm) I used the stamp tool set to "color" and stamped the rest of his shirt.
A bit of burning to blend and you got what I posted. It took all of about 5 minutes.

"putting a semi transparent splotch over the face wont do much" That was very nice of you to point out.
Nice job on the clean up. Stamp set to COLOR wouldn't have ever occured to me..very nice.
