Necessary
Adobe Photoshop
Instructions
Step 1
Open the required photo: click the main menu item "File" -> "Open", select the desired file and click "Open". This is followed by an overview of the tools with which you can edit an old photo, as well as how to properly handle them.
Step 2
Using the Patch tool (hot key J, switching between adjacent elements - Shift + J) it is convenient to replace large areas of images. Depending on which item is selected in the settings of the instrument, "Source" or "Destination", the way of work also changes. If the first one ("Source"), then you need to first circle the problem area, then drag it to the place where the "material for the patch" is. If the second "Purpose", then on the contrary, you first circle the "material" itself, and then move it to the problem area.
Step 3
The Spot Healing Brush tool is best used when you need to fix a very small defect, such as a dot. It works as follows: when you smear over a problem area, for example, a strip from a bend, the brush analyzes the nearby areas and creates a result based on them. Experiment with the “Appropriate” items. Zoom, Texture Creation, and Content-Aware (found in the tool preferences) to achieve the desired effect.
Step 4
The Clone Stamp tool is similar to the Patch tool - they both borrow “material” from undamaged areas. However, Stamp works like a brush, not a cut. Hold alt="Image" and click once with the left mouse button in the area that will serve as the "material". Release alt="Image" and start painting over the problem area. As you can see, this site takes on the same shape as its "generous neighbor". By the way, if you get carried away, you can draw an exact copy of this "neighbor" in this place.
Step 5
To save the result, click the hot keys Ctrl + Shift + S, in the next window select the path, enter the name, set the desired format for the file and click "Save".
