Your memories are important, and deserve to be displayed as best they can. Many people find older photos in boxes, albums, shoes, and they are torn, or folded. These things happen, don’t feel bad, just learn how to repair the damage on Phlearn. In Part 1 we are covering how to repair the border of the photo, and some great ways to blend layers together. Part 2 will focus on the Photo itself, and in Part 3 we are taking this photo and using it to make another photo look aged.

I am so excited to have my mom on the show. Not only is she way cooler than I am, but she has always been my biggest supporter. I hope you enjoy hanging out with us, it won’t be hard to see where I get some of my silliness.

Summary

How to Repair an Old Photo in Photoshop Pt.2
In Part 2 we are focusing on the photo itself. There are many good tools to use when doing this sort of thing, but the three to keep in mind are the clone stamp, healing brush, and patch tool. Mom helps me get the details right as we re-create a lot of the photo.

Mom also tells us where Barbie and Ken come from, and that she was called Barbie as a child. Something I never knew until now.
