ABSTRACT
268 As a digital photography author one of the areas that I am often asked about is photo restoration. As photographers, it is an editing activity that most of us will attempt at least once during our life time. After all, many of the memories of important family events and history are associated with images of the time and, even with the right care and attention, lots of these photos end up a little worse for wear. In this chapter I thought that I would present you with a variety of techniques that you can use to restore, or repair, those images most precious to you. Rather than detailing the techniques in isolation, where sometimes they lose significance, I have chosen to apply them as part of a process of restoring ‘real life’ photos.
