Photoshop :: Repairing Damaged Photo
Sep 28, 2008
I have a Very old B/W photo that is torn/creased/stained/yellowed/etc. Just as a challenge, I thought I would try to do some repair on this photo.
Some parts of the image are incomplete/Gone. One example would be a person's face. The picture was torn in half across this person's face. The tear goes horizontally across the nose. At the tear, some of the image is gone and it is just white paper. I have had a great deal of success rebuilding this face but I have several others that are of the same condition. Code:

I am using Photoshop CS8 (and also have Photoshop Elements) with Windows 7.
Â
I am trying to repair an old image which is about 40-yrs-old (please see below). The original image that was scanned in was a lot more uniform grey, but I have managed to add a little more contrast.
Â
However, much still needs to be done. I was going to attempt to remove the stain on the right using the clone tool, but my main concern is to replace the sky. This would add some clouds, a little contrast, and remove the scratch at the top of the photo.
Â
However, when I try to remove this old, dull sky using Photoshop Elements's magic wand based on this tutorial
Â
[URL].....
Â
I find that the wand also removes the head and body of the duck due, no doubt, to the similarity of grey tones.
Â
How to replace this dull sky with a more interesting one, but I am not sure how to do so while keeping my duck. In fact, I would like to emphasise the presence of the duck more. Should I use a mask technique (I am not very good at masks, I am afraid) to mask the duck from the changes that a new sky will bring about?

Some of you may have seen my thread in the Show-Board section about a damaged photo I have restored. On the photo there is a lady sitting to the left with a cream/white t-shirt on, I have been asked to try and restore that bit too rather than do what I have done in the resto.
This is all I have to go on:
Here is the original image:
and my Restoration so far:
They want the t-shirt as well but there is nothing to go on apart from some apparent squiggles, as you can see.
how I can extract it, I can't even make out what it says or else I would try and find the t-shirt and put it in.

A drive I kept my photos on corrupted and some of my folders of photos went missing.
Â
I have a reasonable sized preview, I can go in and look at the image, the only difference is I can't zoom in to 1:1. I want to export the preview image from lightroom, its still better than losing the whole image.
Â
Is there anyway to do that? the usual export throws a missing file alert.

I am attempting to clean up/repair a damaged wedding photo to be displayed at a funeral. The photo (about 70 years old) has been crumpled or folded over the years. I have scanned it into the computer and have tried to use the clone tool to remove the fold lines. At a magnification of 200 or less, the clone tools works fine. However, I need to work at about 2000 magnification to remove lines from the bride's face and hair and veil. I cannot seem to get the tool to function at all at this mag. It will give me the dotted line and then change to the arrows but you cannot move ANYTHING.

I have a 4x5 color negative that I accidentally double exposed. The image I want to salvage was double exposed with a relatively simple exposure of a sky and sea horizon so the information I want to remove is relatively smooth and not terribly complex.

I scanned a old portrait (1920's - 30's) that somewhere along the line someone tried to "clean" and brought up some of the image. Is there a way in Paintshop Pro X5 to repair the digital image, and if so, how do I do it?

When creating a core & cavity in within Mold design a :
Failed to join the runoff surfaces onto the base body. Entity-entity intersections are detected within the product.
Message appears.
Exporting to fusion, re patching fillets, healing to 0.000001mm, saving as SAT, IGES, splitting & deriving - fixes some thing but breaks others.

When working inside an ipt, I want to open the idw from the browser using the right-click > "open drawing" option. The link is broken, however; so the idw must be searched for manually and opened. How can I repair the link so I can open the idw from the ipt browser in the future?

Sometimes an assembly file can become really very big.
Try to delete all components, all custom ViewReps, Positional Representations and Level of Details and save the file. If the file empty is till very big, then this post might be interesting.

I've been searching for a damaged wall effect that I can create in photoshop. I'd like it to be an indoor wall, as if it's got plaster falling off and has been damaged by water... that sort of thing!
I'm trying to make a picture that looks like it is a wall inside a house that has been damaged in some way or other.

I'm looking to make something kinda like this, but I really have no idea how it was done. The whole image has a damaged look to it, and looks a little scratched up. Also I would like to know how to create the creases that appear to be in the paper.

I am not the most technically savvy lady so I might have made this issue worse.
Â
After I first installed the Creative Cloud and downloaded Photoshop, I attempted to open the program and it said "file is incomplete or damaged".
I tried deleting it out of the applications in the side folder to re-install thinking it would get rid of it but the tab is still there.How do I delete Photoshop to re-install? Is that possible?

The hard drive on my laptop is performing erratically and CHKDSK can't fix it, so it's time for a new drive. In preparation for the new drive, I tried to transfer activation of Photoshop CS2. I get the following error dialogue box message:
"The application or DLL C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS2Activationen_USalmuirsc.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
The only choice for this box is to click the OK button. When I do, I get the following message:
"Sorry, a serious error has been detected. To continue using Adobe Photoshop, please reinstall the appliation."

I'm getting this error when opening two specific PSD files in Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Pro:
"This document has been damaged by a disk error..."
I've been testing hard drives and memory, as well as looking at other files, and as of now I think it's not a systematic problem; rather, I suspect that these two files were damaged when migrating from my old computer.
I have two questions for anyone out there who has troubleshot this issue before:
1. One of the files has a violent green stripe 50-100 pixels wide in Photoshop, but when opened in Gimp it looks fine except for two individual pixels that are pure green. The other has a blue stripe across it in Photoshop, but looks fine in Gimp. (I am comparing specifically the background, without any layers.) Why would the Photoshop and Gimp views of the same image differ so widely?
2. Does anyone know of a script that can check all files for this error? Sitting there opening all of my thousands of PSDs one at a time seems like a royal pain, and something that could be automated by someone who knows how...

I'm looking to create this damaged metal effect in CS2.
how to do so?
I found a tut, but it was for Gimp. Also, I'd like to try to make it without any lighting or shadowing effects. I'm importing the texture into a community built game, and I know how to create my own specular & bump maps for the in-game shadow effects.

I have Photoshop Elements 6.0. I was working on an image with 3 layers and I'd been saving very regularly, then my computer crashed. It didn't crash while I was saving but it must have still been saving when it happened because my file got damaged. Now when I open it, it comes up with a message saying 'This document contains Adobe Photoshop data which appears to be damaged. Continue and ignore the Photoshop data?' when I click ok it then says 'The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile descrition is invalid. Ignoring the profile'. When the image opens its completely flat and black. I've tries a few recovery programmes but that didn't seem to work. I found a temp file but I don't think it'ss a real temp file because it doesn't have an extension.

Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac
Late 2012 Mac mini, 2.6GHz i7, 16 HB RAM, Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Â
I purchased and downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10. Download and installation appeared to be completely normal but when I launch the Photo Editor the following message appears:
Â
Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application.I have:
Reinstalled PE12 from the original downloadDeleted PE`10 and reinstalled PE12 from the original downloadRedownloaded PE12 and resinstalled it from the new downloadUninstalled PE12 and reinstalled it from the second downloadManually scrubbed every trace of PE12 and reinstalled it from a third download.I am still getting the warning message. From what I can tell from cursory testing the Photo Editor appears to be functioning correctly other than the damaged installation warning message.

caused by a flood in my location (Bavaria/Germany), I have many damaged photos, which where stored in cellar, which was flooded. The photos are dirty and wet, but they can be cleaned and dehumidified. Many photos have now areas with ruined colors and "fire blizzards" on it. can I prepare damaged photos with Photoshop elements (8, 9 or 11) in that way, that I get back a good picture?

This problem began for me after installing the PSCS6 beta. I started getting a popup saying "Adobe Application Manager is missing or damaged" and advising me to download and reinstall AAM. I did that, with no result. The responses from Adobe ("you must have a bad installer"). I was able to leave the beta as it was and use PSCS5.
Fast forward: PSCS6 is released and I purchase and try to install the upgrade, which won't install with the beta present. The Beta uninstaller won't run because of the AAM error. I laboriously search and delete all files related to the beta.PSCS6 release version installs, but when it starts I get a popup witht the same message about AAM. I have spent over 12 hours in chat with Adobe support with only negative results. Not only have they not fixed the problem -- they have managed to propagate it to my PSCS5 installation -- which they subsequently deleted.
As part of attempting to diagnose I have tried the PSCS6 unistaller, which fails with the same error; used the CS cleaner tool and reinstalled -- same problem; verified permissions and file ssytem on my system drive; tried removing CS6 and reinstalling from a new, clean admin account -- same AAM error.
I am at my wits' end with this. I have NO working verion of photoshop (big problem for a photographer/designer), NO confidence in Adobe support (most of the 12 hours was watching them try the same things we had done several times before), and how to fix this short of stripping my Mac back to the metal and reinstalling everything.

how to restore damaged photos and one of the most essential tools I need is the healing brush tool BUT it wont work!
Â
I create a new layer by dragging the background image down to the icon in the bottom left hand corner.Then select the healing brush tool, set it to replace, proximity match, opacity to 30%, hardness to 100%, flow to 100% and have aligned ticked.
Â
Because of the disability I used a track ball mouse with a sticky mouse button. So I start to paint with the healing brush, have it clicked down but nothing really happens? The spot healing tool works o.k.ish as does the clone stamp.
I"m running CS4 Extended on a Mac......

how to fix the color on this photo. I have several more like it. They are scanned from photos that were developed from damaged film. On the photos where the entire image is yellowed I have no problem correcting the color, but I'm not quite sure how to make a selection on photos like these and then match the color to the other half..I am using cs5.
