How Do I Restore a Photo in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 24, 2023 @ 2:28 pm

When it comes to digital photo editing, Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard. If you’re hoping to restore an old or damaged photo, there’s no better program to use than Photoshop.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of restoring a photo in Photoshop step-by-step.

The first step is to open your photo in Photoshop. Once your photo is open, you’ll want to create a new layer.

To do this, click on the “Create a new layer” icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

Once you have a new layer created, you’ll want to select the Clone Stamp tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen. The Clone Stamp tool allows you to clone or copy pixels from one area of an image and apply them to another area.

Now that you have the Clone Stamp tool selected, take a look at your options bar at the top of the screen. The first thing you’ll want to do is set your brush size.

You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu next to “Brush” and selecting a size that’s appropriate for your image.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, restoring a photo in Photoshop can permanently alter or delete the original file. Always make a backup of the original photo before beginning any restoration work.

Next, you’ll want to make sure that your brush is set to a soft round brush tip. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu next to “Mode” and selecting “Soft Light.”

Now that you have your brush options set, it’s time to start cloning! Take your mouse and position it over an area of your image that you want to clone.

Then, click and hold down the mouse button as you drag your cursor over the area you want to clone. As you drag your cursor, you’ll see a preview of the area you’re cloning.

Once you’ve cloned the area you want, release the mouse button and take a step back to admire your work! With just a few clicks, you’ve successfully restored your photo using Photoshop.
