I have an old photograph that has sat in an old wallet in a shed for about 10 years. Consequently it has suffered by adopting an orange hazy splodge!
I have scanned it in on request and am looking to remove the splodge and generally bring it back to life.

Admittedly I am no expert in these matters and although my knowledge stretches to sharpening and improving colour contrast I am lost on how to efficiently remove the splodges.

Any of you experts will to share ideas how I could do it.

I tried this way using Elements…eyedropper to sample a good part of her face then put the brush into color mode to paint away the stains……result?…dark grey blotches where I painted!…how is it done?

You can remove a certain amount with adjustment layers but I think there will still be a certain amount of ‘real’ work to be done. Though I’d be interested to see just how far anyone else can get with layers…

Hey Ben

I didn’t realize that you were such a "professional" and will not go out of your way for anyone. And personally, you don’t have to. Now, this gentleman has an old photo which is, by all means, pretty much ruined. Some of us here are willing to try and clean it up for him. Whether it be because they have the skill and knowledge to do it or whether they just want to do it for the practice. As far as anyone knows, that pic may have sentimental value for this guy and may be the only picture of this person that exists. I just don’t see why you have a problem with anyone willing to touch up the photo for him. The way I see it, you can either put up or shut up. We don’t need to hear from you if you’re not interested in helping. To be totally honest with you, I chose to touch up the photo for free and I make my living doing this stuff. You wan to know something else? It’s none of your goddamm business !!! Dig?

I went into the channels and selected the cleanest channel and deleted the other 2. I then converted to Grayscale and still had some cleaning up to do. I did this with the cloning tool. I found that some of the details were missing so i just brought them back with the burn tool. I also used the dodge tool on some areas which were a little too dark for my taste. and that’s about it !!!

Oh Ben
When I explained how I did the fix I wasn’t talking to you. You’ll notice that right below my explanation someone named Alan Greenwood asked me what the procedure was. I would never dare try to explian to you what steps I took to do this, oh mighty photoshopper. You are so into yourself it’s not even funny. I just don’t understand why your first post was so derogatory and yet, you proceeded to TRY and fix the image. Poorly, I might add. I hope Photoshop is just a hobby for you because although "self-praise is no recommendation" I still think I did a much better job than you. But I’m not here to compete. Personally from your job on that image, I wouldn’t even let you desaturate a color image for me. Hope you didn’t quit your day job at the plant

By the way….I’m not Dutch….I’m ITALIAN

I went into the channels and selected the cleanest channel and deleted the other 2. I then converted to Grayscale and still had some cleaning up to do. I did this with the cloning tool. I found that some of the details were missing so i just brought them back with the burn tool. I also used the dodge tool on some areas which were a little too dark for my taste. and that’s about it !!!

Hey Ben

I didn’t realize that you were such a "professional" and will not go out of your way for anyone. And personally, you don’t have to. Now, this gentleman has an old photo which is, by all means, pretty much ruined. Some of us here are willing to try and clean it up for him. Whether it be because they have the skill and knowledge to do it or whether they just want to do it for the practice. As far as anyone knows, that pic may have sentimental value for this guy and may be

the

only picture of this person that exists. I just don’t see why you have a problem with anyone willing to touch up the photo for him.

The

way I see it, you can either put up or shut up. We don’t need to

hear

from you if you’re not interested in helping. To be totally honest with you, I chose to touch up the photo for free and I make my

living

doing this stuff. You wan to know something else? It’s none of your goddamm business !!! Dig?

Did I mention that mine are the Tony Buffone ones? I thought it was obvious….JeanMarie sounds French to me…or is that Freedom…LOL and Rick Longley doesn’t exactly sound too Italian either. But then, how would you know? You probably wouldn’t recognize your own reflection. You’re so stupid you sit on the TV and watch the couch. You’re so stupid you climb over glass walls to see what’s on the other side. You’re so dumb that when your teacher told you to make a family tree you went outside and got some leaves. You’re so stupid you take a ruler to bed to see how long you sleep. Last time I saw a face like yours, I fed it a banana. You’re so poor that when you go to KFC you lick other people’s fingers. You’re so dumb you steal free samples.

I have some good news for you. Your proctologist called and said he found your head. You do know what a proctologist is, don’t ya?

By the way….tell your mom the war is over….she can take the boots off now….LOL !!!

After reading your last post I decided to take a look at both my and your work….My conclusion is that after you pointed out all those flaws on mine I realized that your work is so much better. This has gone on long enough. I’m sorry if I insulted or offended you. My original post had absolutely nothing to do with this stupid competition. All I said was that if you want to help someone, you do and if you don’t, you don’t. And that it isn’t necessary to put down the people that do want to help. So basically, I’ll be the bigger person here and apologise to you publicly. I hope no offense is taken…I have no hard feelings….did I mention that your work is better?

If anyone here has touch-ups and the like to have done, please ask Ben to do them for you….He’s the BEST !!!

By the way, you have to admit that it was getting really funny, right? PEACE

I had good luck starting with the red channel. Then I used the a and b channels of Lab mode as masks for two curve layers to remove the splotches, plus an overall curve to adjust highlight and shadow.

There are a couple of marks left, but I wanted to see what could be done with curves alone.

Results are at http://geigy.2y.net/Tutorials/LabRepairDiscoloration

With your permission, I’d like to make this into a tutorial. —

the

people who have given there time to it.

I have update the page with some more that have been done.

I have an old photograph that has sat in an old wallet in a shed for

about

10 years. Consequently it has suffered by adopting an orange hazy

splodge!

I have scanned it in on request and am looking to remove the splodge and generally bring it back to life.

Admittedly I am no expert in these matters and although my knowledge stretches to sharpening and improving colour contrast I am lost on how

to

efficiently remove the splodges.

Any of you experts will to share ideas how I could do it.
Here is a link to the image saved as a high quality jpeg for you to see

what

I mean.

Please some of you calm down this was never meant to be a competition by

any

stretch of the imagination. I do how ever really appreciate the efforts

made

by everyone who has helped me out here.

The reason I put up a page with peoples retouches on it was by request earlier on in the thread. I presumed this was requested because people

were

intrested on how well this could be done.

Dutch???? Where do you get that I am Dutch? I have to tell you…..I don’t know you but you seem about as sharp as a bowling
ball…..you’re dumber than a box of rocks….Tell me something. Are you using sailboat fuel for brains because I get the impression that you have air between the ears.

As far as fixing the pic and posting on this newsgroup….I don’t see it so could you show me where it is oh mighty intelligent powerful one?

Hey Ben

I didn’t realize that you were such a "professional" and will not go out of your way for anyone. And personally, you don’t have to. Now, this gentleman has an old photo which is, by all means, pretty much ruined. Some of us here are willing to try and clean it up for him. Whether it be because they have the skill and knowledge to do it or whether they just want to do it for the practice. As far as anyone knows, that pic may have sentimental value for this guy and may be the only picture of this person that exists. I just don’t see why you have a problem with anyone willing to touch up the photo for him. The way I see it, you can either put up or shut up. We don’t need to hear from you if you’re not interested in helping. To be totally honest with you, I chose to touch up the photo for free and I make my living doing this stuff. You wan to know something else? It’s none of your goddamm business !!! Dig?
