Photoshop Elements

Author: Brad Alexzander

You may be considering whether or not you should restore your
old photographs; if you are the first thing you must figure out
is which problem you want to fix first. At times it is obvious
to see which problem should be fixed first; some of your photos
might have tears or a bad case of red eye. However, some of your
photos will undoubtedly have a variety of problems which must be
corrected in the proper sequence so when you solve one problem
you may be correcting an entirely different problem at the same
time. Here are a few problems you might attack.

* The first problem you want to do is fix any structural issues.
Torn or ripped photos can be scanned in and repaired using
Photoshop Elements tools so that you will have a whole picture
to work with in order to correct other problems.

* Your next step is to correct the contrast of your photos. Are
they too light or dark? This can be easily overcome using your
photo editing software.

* You can next correct simple problems such as "red eye" and
dust spot with the Red Eye reduction tool.

* After adjusting the contrast, you can now tackle any color
adjustments you wish to make using adjustment tools such as the
color picker. You can lighten or darken any existing color, or
change the color completely to suit your taste.

* Using the cropping tool you can remove or replace any content
you do not want in the photo. Simply replace those undesirable
objects with a more pleasing background.

All of these repairs can be easily accomplished using Photoshop
Elements. Be brave and experiment with your photo editing
program. You can always go back and undo anything that does not
return the results that you desire.
