When it comes to restoring those old or unsightly photographs you must decide what you must do first. Some problems that you must correct are very obvious, such as a torn photo or a group of relatives with a bad case of red eye. Some of your photos will have several problems, and they must be corrected in the proper sequence so when you solve one problem it may correct another problem. Here are a few problems you might attack.
* The first thing to do is handle any structural problems you may have. Torn, or ripped sections of your photos should be scanned and repaired with your photo editor so that you will have a whole picture to work on 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.
* The next things you may want to correct are simple problems such as "red eye" and dust spots with the Red Eye reduction tool.
* Once you have finished adjusting the contrast you can tackle any other color adjustments you wish to make using modification tools such as the color picker. You can lighten or darken any existing color, or change the color completely to suit your taste.
* Then remove or replace any content you do no want in the photo. Simply replace those undesirable objects with a more pleasing background.
All photo repairs can be easily accomplished using Photoshop Elements. Don't hesitate to experiment with the tools available in Photoshop Elements. You can always go back and undo anything that does not return the results that you desire.
