Assignment 3
This is a slightly edited and reorganized version of Sam Jennings third assignment for COMS226, with links to his original tutorials.
In this assignment, you will:
Create a new folder within the public_html/coms226 folder. Name the folder "restore" (lower case).
Using the practice photos below, create examples of image restoration (6 images total) using a combination of the paint, edit, or healing tools (one can be the "red eye" example image).
Save the original and .PSD versions of your images in the "restore" folder while you are working on them.
By the Numbers
Step 1: Create your "restore" folder in public_html/coms226
Download all of these images to this new folder:
| Red Eye Example 2 | Old image 3 | Dented red SUV |
| Red Eye Example 1 | Dented black car 2 | Face |
| Healing Tools old car | Skin blemishes | |
| Old Image 1 |
Dented black car | |
| Old image 2 | Healing Tools white car |
Step 2: Practice using the following tools
- Red Eye tool - Tutorial
- Healing brush tool - Tutorial
- Patch tool - Tutorial
- Clone Stamp tool - Tutorial
- Dust and Scratches tool (for restoring older black and white images) - Tutorial
Step 3: Alter and touch up EVERY image in the above table.
- Once you have touched up each image save it as the original name of the image but add FIXED before the .jpg extension.
- Again, your GOAL is to alter and touch up each image to remove all belmishes, wrinkles, dents, and damage to the best of your ability.
- Your final product should look better than the original image (or at least somewhat of an improvement).
Step 4: When you have finished the restoration work
- Save the original and a copy of each completed image in the restore folder as a .jpg file using "Save for Web and Devices."
- Move the .PSD versions of your images in your non-public H-drive space.
- Insert the original and corrected images on a Web page using a template like this or a page of your own design.
BONUS: Give Deke a chance
Deke McClelland's Photoshop CS5 One-on-One covers "Retouch, Heal and Enhance" tools in Lesson 4, pointing out that there are 23 (!) tools related to painting, editing and "healing." He starts with a more basic tool than Sam's tutorials: The "Dodge" tool, along with its opposite, "Burn," and the related "Sponge." Give them a try on pages 96 through 103. From pages 104 to 116 he goes into much more detail on the "Healing" brushes and "Patch" tool.
