Fixing an Old Picture with Photoshop Elements

No doubt you probably have shoe boxes full of old photographs, many of which have become priceless to you over the years. The problem is, as good as Kodak use to make their papers and films, over time, photographs can start to fade, yellow, and crack. The good news is, you can scan in your pictures, and using an image editing program like Photoshop Elements (our favorite), repair them to almost like new.

Here is a brief tutorial on what we call the “quick and easy” way to fix an old photo, that we originally created as part of a blog article we wrote called “Your Photos Deserve Some Tender Loving Care (and fixing)!” You can read the article on the SHF Technical Blog by clicking here.
