  • So nice you did that for your grandmother.

    The after-effect looks really really good.

    I used those same techniques quite recently to restore an old damaged photo of my grand-grandmother. That was so cool.

  • You are very good with oul Adobe my friend !!

  • Dude, your grandma is 'vintage-hot'

  • Super u take few min u should clear all

  • What is the point of this video? It says how too. All it is, terrible music and somebody showing off.

  • @menmegirlz Really, where does it say "how too"? And just for future use, you used "too" when referencing "how too" which implies "in addition". You were looking for "to" as in "how to" which indicates motion or action. Here endith the lesson.

  • DAM SONG!!!!!

  • Log Live the Clone Stamp Tool :)

  • Part 2

    When you are cloning from certain areas you have to take small samples and build to the nearest known pixels in that tonal range. Any imperfections n a run sampled with the clone stamp tool can give you the effect of 'snaking', a common mistake. Everyone does it at some point. My advice would be to work in smaller areas, work tight and then when you have a wider range to sample from you can apply a bigger brush range.

  • Developed* not printed, my mistake. Please refrain from the usual youtube trashing haha.

  • Awesome touchup vid, you are really good. I just purchased Adobe Production Premium CS 5.5, it's amazing. I need to take some classes or just do some research to get this type of workflow. Just knowing exactly what to do next and knocking it out step by step.

    I have one question though, When these photos were originally printed they weren't yellow, they were black and white. Was this just a physical restoration or is it normal to leave tho photo that way?

  • @dankhimself - As to the original color, I think its personal preference. I tend to try to leave the photos discolored within reason. Changing the colors too much is just against my taste. By the way I will not colorize a photo for any reason. I have been offered lots of bigger jobs and I turned them down. Colorizing an original B&W photo is nothing more than image rape in my opinion

  • NANANANANANANA!!!NANAMUTE!!!!

  • Can I ask how many hours or days to complete this?

  • why do people think its a tutorial?

  • some people should learn to use photoshop instead of moaning about this guys video. nice upload.

  • lol, cry babies. They can't spoon feed you everything! You can still see what tools he uses.

    

  • gay music :(

  • awesome stuff! Grandma would be proud!

  • great video!!!

  • Pity about the reversed persepective on the right hand side of picture chair upright :/

  • @_@ That's what I look like while watching

  • very nicely done she was a dish indeed thanks mate!

  • Bravo,Great video.

  • This is one of my favorite Photoshop tutorial vids and what can be done, it brings back new life to old school coolness and a perfect blend of sound, good job :)

  • WOW!!! YOUR SO GOOD!!

  • really incredible work 0.0 congratulations, i like it

  • i have a photoshop class and i learned this a couple of weeks ago..

  • i can do this..

    

  • Excellent!

    

  • great work! :)

  • I also have an old photo of my great grandmother I would love to have restored to present to my mother for Christmas. If you have the time, please let me know what would be the cost.

  • is very good!

    as the name of that song?

  • Can't follow!

  • That is ow some restoring!!!!!

  • Nice work

  • Nice!

  • Your Grandmother was a very beautiful woman, and even though i could not learn much from the video it was still amazing.. keeps me trying harder on PS.

    Thx

  • thx 4 u 

  • You did a wonderful job. I have a picture of my mother-in-law when she was 8 yrs old and my sister-in-law torn it to pieces and missing a piece which is the important part, her arm. I tried to do it. I did what I can by cloning and using the scratch tool thats all I did. It looks ok, just wish it looks as half as good as yours. Great job. I used Paintshop Pro 3, don't have Adobe, wish I did. lol Thank you for your turorial.

  • some poeple are dumb, thinking this is a tutorial :/ Anyway, great work! I wish I could restore photos like that!

  • It is not a tutorial it is a MONTAGE.

  • @orirnda - Thats why I didn't put tutorial in the title or in the description or in the video

  • @orirnda I'm Impressed, I know it not a tutorial, but it's going to take me twice the work to figure out all your steps, first I'll start with premier pro, slow you down a little, then it's off the photoshop, to try it on my own photo. Thanks for sharing you talents! Wish I could just play youtube in slow mo....:)

  • @orirnda Hmm... where did you read tutorial?

  • your grandma was so beautiful..

  • can u make it little slow , i cant observe clearly. :(

  • My mums birthday is in 5 days. I have an old photo of my nan that she would love to be restored. It would make the perfect gift. Can you do it and what would it cost...

  • @ncunico just sent you a pm .

  • @ncunico Just sent you a pm

  • Amazing skills!!!

  • Nice work. I been getting into some similar restoration but not to the extent you show here. My question is how do you use the clone stamp and remove the repetitive copying? Of course you don't want it to look like you copied what was near it. Also, I tried that on faces and it doesn't work well for me since face color is different all over. I have Adobe PS Elements 2.0. It's quite old. I'm a self learner with no help or books etc.

  • your grandma is beautiful!

  • Impressive!!

  • we need step by step tutorial DigitalDesignHouse ;(

  • Impressive!

  • Ya but how you do that ?!!! this just for your self not for us.

  • great idea, but you should try explaining in a tutorial for those who don;t know the tools within PS too well.

  • That was absolutely amazing ! I only just found this because I'm looking for tips to restore pictures of my grand-fathers.

  • I salute you, this is really fantastic work. I would imagine there is good money to be made with a talent like this?

  • Too fast, useless tutorial :(

  • @masterspanishru Not a tutorial but thanks for playing :)

  • this is utterly amazing...its like watching a movie....

  • O_o this is amazing!

    I noticed a small flaw though :(

    Her shirt or whatever it is is showing at the top part next to her necklace, but a bit lower you removed it - because it looked blurry...

    Tell me if I am mistaking!

  • This video is absolutely memorizing. I've watched it over and over. Please make more of them.

  • Great work!  But I cannot possibly learn at the rate you're going?

  • Yeah. I would love step by step. Doing picture restoration in my class, and... well Instructor to busy with other I gotta learn from Youtube and the book. Pleeeeease have a Step by step. Would love you long time xD <3

  • just Amazing! Speachless!

  • Traducere din Română în Engleză

    Yes it is wonderful what can be done with this program

    Thank you very much

  • ... How are you human. This is ridiculously insane!

  • @GerardwHey You are too kind .... I think :)

  • Hi there Digital - this is absolutely AMAZING - but can we please have a step-by-step tutorial please? I see you said you would post one three months ago. Have you posted it anywhere yet? Many thanks.

  • @BMJSpitteler Yea I know ... I have just been slammed with work . I actually started the step by step but it will be a couple more weeks before I get them posted . I am breaking up the steps into short videos . I just wish I had more time to do this stuff because people send me so many emails about this video .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse - Gosh, that was FAST. I have been looking at others on here and yours is by far the BEST - so I am going to wait for yours. I have subscribed to your videos. THANK you so so much Digital. BTW would I be able to work on it without the tablet you are using? Thanks for your time.

  • @DigitalDesignHouse

    I did get the tablet yesterday as I said,but the small one they had ran out of the medium intuos 4.

    Please do post the steps,because I promised my mom i`d fix her chilhood photos:)

    Thank you

  • Muy bueno :D

  • She's beautiful. She'd be very proud. You are very talented. Thank you so much for posting.

  • One word - phwoar........ if that really is a word. I love doing photo repairs but this one leaves my efforts for dead!! Amazing. I managed to get quite a few hints from it for future use. Thanks.

  • Got bored watching it, could you speed it up a bit more please .... LOL

    Great result by the way

  • I am sure her beauty helped inspire such great photoshopping!

  • That was incredible. I have an old photo of my parents i am trying to restore. I'll have a hard time doing as good a job as you:)

  • congratulations

  • my god your granny was a beautiful woman nice video :P

  • What was the actual time spent doing this?

  • I liked the first one better.

  • That is insane! It looks like your just erasing the rips and cracks.

  • That is amazing!! Wish I can do that.. I have CS5

  • man, you're really, really, really fast at this!!!!... j/k.... lol... but you are really, really fast....

  • Amazing job!! more than restoring a picture, you become a barber, a carpenter, dress designer....

  • JAWDROPPING! i want to the same with my grampa photo (it's not that bad) but i want it to be as perfect as possible, i noticed your use of the clone stamp, you try to use it from one patten and then dragging right? so the clone stamp copies that pattern, or what?

  • @acdudec There are alot of techniques involved here but yes that is how the clone stamp tool works . One of the tricks is to not use 100% opacity all the time . You will see that when I am doing the bottom of her dress . You can even borrow patterns and swatches from other pictures .... no rules to it .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse don't want to be pushy, but after looking at your video i made myself of courage to restore my grandpa photo (i just wouldn't dare before that), i have a problem, a portion of his eye is rip off, i saw in other videos how they do that, same way as you mentioned, using other photos to restore, but i don't know exactly what should i do, first import another photo, then use a mask, i really don't know i'm a complete noob. But so far the spot healing, patch, clone did the job vw

  • @acdudec . Go to file , place and choose the file of eye that you want to use . That will create a layer just for the eye . Remember to always use masks ... they are non destructive and can be undone at any time . You can change the opacity of the eye layer to about 40% and then get the center lined up . From there adjust size and shape to match original eye . Change back to 100% and mask out what you don't need .

  • FANTASTIC! Great video and restoration.

  • which tool is the one where you colored the hair is it the clone one?

  • @RcUniverseGuy I used clone , brush and some masking . I use a Wacom tablet so when I do fine hair I can get the fine ends to the brush pattern .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse

    I love this tutorial,but I would be much better if it showed the step by step,.

    I`m going to buy a tablet right now! Let`s see how it goes ,because the ones we have at DeVry University ,are way too sensitive to the pen I mean really ,to the point where is impossible to deal with them.

  • the hair still looks wrong to me but other than that it was really really good

  • That was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing. I've often wondered how in the world people restore photos.

  • @stairwellsinger I will be posting a how to video on restores pretty soon .

  • That was fabulous work. Thanks for posting this and greetings from Sheffield, UK.

  • I am in the middle of restoring a pic of my mother and her siblings, and grandmother in an impromptu family portrait. My biggest issue are the thousands of scratches. I also had to create/restore a new pair of shoes for her. It's so much fun though.

    Any tips for the scratches?

  • this is super awesome. thumbs up :)

  • u got some serious skillz der kidda

  • THAT WAS REALLY AWESOME!!! :)

  • I have Photoshop Elements 7. Can you do the same process in that program? I have the clone stamp tool. Are you using any other tools?

  • @2007omi I use a whole host of tools that are not avail in PE7 . I also use a Wacom Tablet ....I couldn't live without it .

  • She's beautiful! Excellent work!

  • Nice Video

    Like the music!

    Areosmith Dream on Acustic cover

  • Very nice, why did you make it darker at the very end?

  • @fantasticHorus It cam out a little darker in the vid than it actually was . It does get more rich with the higher gama output and saturation . Your adding color to a very low saturated pallet

  • GRANDMOTHER???

  • @marr131 Yeup , she was my gram ...

  • Breathtaking how long did it take to complete it?

  • @wolfchants This video is about an hour and a half of work ...

  • Awesome!

  • hey what tool do u use?

  • @blurrychix20 wacom tablet , photoshop and a lot of mt dew / kools

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome! Do you make commercial videos for this kind of restoration? I'm interested.

  • @ssodangi Just finished our documentary and submitted to sundance so sorry for the late response . I am working on some more of the tutorials ... I have a few requests for certain techniques .. Now that I have time .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse

    Cool, keep me posted pls. 

  • This is absolutely amazing. Very beautiful. You are truly talented. I'm curious if you use a graphic tablet to do this or just your mouse? Great job!!

    Cheers!

  • @Evocati2008 Oh yea .... I use a tablet . There are some things are much easier and faster with a tablet . Thank you for your comment by the way ...

  • @Evocati2008 Wacom all the way , couldn't live without it .

  • amazing... i do restorations (ifixanyphoto) as well. I liked your of swatches.

  • Incredible.

  • Amazing Job .I just started in photoshop hope i can get this good

  • Amazing Job .I just started in photoshop hope i can get this good

  • How do you increase the photo res without the picture looking "blown up"?

  • Awesome, it was like a major operation. Well done ^_^

  • Wow, cracking job here, well done!!

  • @Designing5 I don't use the heal brush at all ... maybe once in a blue moon . I use the clone stamp tool alot at different flow and opacity . I also use swatches from different parts of the photo and even donor photos . Some parts though I just paint myself ... just all depends on the need .

  • i have done this with many of my parents older photos from way back in in the USSR only using the clone stamp. you did this amazingly, its just that sometimes, spots seem to look over-replicated. any suggestions as to how I may avoid this issue?

  • @userpyromaster Thank you very much for the compliment . Well one of the things I do is to change the flow and opacity of the clone stamp tool . You can see this at about 1:42 seconds into the piece . Another trick I use is "borrowing" swatches from other old photos . I will be doing a tutorial on how I did this piece but if you have any questions ... feel free to email them over .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse yould you please give me your email in a pm? i believe that you are a clone stamp god. Please allow me to learn from you. 

  • based on the photo it seems that her is supposed to have a shorter bang kinda curving to the left side. but that's pretty awesome work you did non the less

  • Wow. Can you give us some of the tools you used? I hope you can make a tutorial. Great work! :D

  • @laysa713 I am working on this tutorial and I will explain how I did everything in detail . I have just been swamped , maybe I can finish it up in the coming weeks though .

  • @DigitalDesignHouse Thank you so much! Looking forward to that! :D

  • Wow... This is great! Awesome...!

  • Amazing! Speechless...

  • @LinaArt1 Thank you very much ... I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I am getting alot more views and very kind posts . Very Kind ... :)

  • Wow! That is awesome. You did it so well while maintaining authenticity. I hope you do this professionally.

  • @tstaylor18 First let me say thank you . It means alot when people like what you do . Yes I do create digital media for a living but rarely photo restore projects . This one was just fun because it was my grandmother ... gotta love what you do .

  • excellent job... :-)

  • i'm blown away...that was amazing

  • That is awesome.

  • Great job man I really like how it turned out

    Cody

  • Excelent Work, how many time you spend on it.

  • must have made someone really happy to see their loved one's picture that good!

  • Thanks for the compliment ... the photo is my late grandmother . I stole the photo from my mom , fixed it and then gave her an 8x10 . That is the only photo we have of her before she was about 70 .

  • Absolutely amazing you did a fantastic job!

  • Amazing job really great picture!!!5*
