Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Photoshop Image Restoration / Antique Photos Pt. 1 / Antique Photos pt. 3)
Let us continue our sweep and another example of the patch tool, the large area here. Here is a demonstration of how not to do it. See this area where the pattern is? You drag it over there and let it go of it and that pattern is going to be replaced right there, that is what you do not want. So do not do it that way. Drag it over to here where you have got a clean area in the photograph and select that and then come back. Now once you drag it over there and you get these areas replaced over here then it is a simple matter to go get the clone tool, and just tap it, clean up a little bit, get rid of the smaller areas, so can't even tell that anymore. Now here is a tricky little area; this is a kind of a fun thing. See we have a degradation that overlaps part of a pattern? Look at the corner up here, what do you do? Well you can zoom in on it real tight and sit there and hunt and peck and do all that, but that is way you do not want to do it. Alright we are going to zoom back out to here and then we are going to zoom in just a little closer, now go get the patch tool, draw over a wider area and it looks like an oblong type of selection. The reason I say that is what we are going to do is we are going to pull this down, straight down because want to sample right here. We want this image to come up, so that we have a replacement of the degradation, see how that works, and then we do not have a break in our continuity. Just keep going with our sweep. We come down, look at that. Okay, we cannot use the patch tool and let me illustrate to you why; where are you going to go? Where are going to sample from to replace that area? Come over to here, does that look right? Of course not, so you can't use the patch tool in this area, so what you do, you are going to zoom in just a bit, and this is where you have to use the clone tool. Take a tool about that size and then what we are going to do is on the clone stamp tool you push Alt and it creates that target, click on that target area and then you move it to the sample and just click, get rid of that. And what we are going to do, we are going to do something different, we are going to come up here and sample this area because we want to clean it up, so that we have the contrast, we have the continuity and flow of the image from here to here with the hair. Alright, we are going to sample here, click and then it should be in good shape, not perfect, we can adjust all that later. Now we want to sample the area up here, we want to constantly resample where we are coming from, and actually right here we can go get the patch tool. Okay, and we are all done. Let us go back and see if these indentations in the hair don't look natural, doesn't quite. Alright, so we are going adjust that, we are going to come up here to the clone tool. Filling in the best we can, but let us zoom out and see how that looks; it's acceptable, just for the purposes of demonstration. We are not going to hang around here too long because I think you get the idea and we are going to move on to other areas. But that is basically how to squeeze in and get degradations across a pattern.
