Tutorial 5- Re-touching


What I had to do was to retouch an old, ragged photo and turn into something different. So this is how I went about it, first of all, I changed the picture into grey scale. I used the clone stamp to fix the rugged surface of the picture

After that I selected different areas of the picture,such as the hat,her face, scarf , and her shoulders once at a time, using the lasso tool.
As you can see in this picture, I have selected the lady's scarf. After selecting a certain portion of the lady, I used the hue and saturation settings to change the color around the picture.

I repeated this several times for her hat, face, scarf and her shoulders. But for her hair, I tried another technique. I added another layer, and brushed on the new layer around her hair. After brushing around her hair, I logged into my layer properties (right click on the new layer>properties) I reduced the opacity and over layed it.

After this, i just added another layer and painted the background green and the frames into red just for fun. And here is the final outcome.
