- thewizardofaus 8y agoWow that's amazing! Good job :)
- beautifulfreak 8y agoThanks!
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoThat is impressive, how long does it take to restore a typical photo?
- beautifulfreak 8y agoMost took 5-10 hours, but the photo of the couple covered in black spots took about 15 hours. That one was a woman's only surviving photo of her parents, so she was extremely happy with the results. I did them all for Reddit users for free, and it was very gratifying. I'd recommend fielding Reddit requests as a good way to practice. Here's one I worked on for two days before giving up, early in my stint doing restorations. https://imgur.com/a/56pSsS7 https://imgur.com/a/56pSsS7 I really should start over, but don't have the drive anymore. I'd say that was my most ambitious attempt. The guy I did it for still had it framed, despite its flaws. Thanks for liking my work!
- h1d 8y agoWhich one was hardest and easiest?
- beautifulfreak 8y agoThe photo of a couple covered in black tar spots was the hardest. It took about 15 hours, without a break. It was the only surviving photo a Redditor had of her birth parents, so I put my all into it. This one was probably easiest (https://imgur.com/a/1lp9O https://imgur.com/a/1lp9O) because there were fewer repair areas.
- murukesh_s 8y agoIt's basically close to painting :) good job!
- beautifulfreak 8y agoThanks! Sometimes they end up looking too much like paintings, so part of the challenge is to keep them looking photographic.
- grad8888 8y agoWhat are some good resources for learning photoshop?
- beautifulfreak 8y agoOnline tutorials and Youtube videos were some help, but really it just takes practice. Muscle memory is key. I used two tools repeatedly, the clone tool and healing brush, then magnified the work area to zoom in on details. I think the patience I learned has transferred to other non-Photoshop tasks. Others here have commented on similar results.
