RESTORATION PROJECT

HOMEWORK DUE MARCH 20TH
Your assignment has several options and components. The core idea is to restore 2 old photographs that has imperfections, scratches, folds, extra... Here is where you have a few options. I am supplying 3 photographs I bought at an antique store and you are more than welcome to work from 2 of these, however what I think would be more interesting and potentially rewarding/sentimental is to ask your relatives of photos that might be important to them to be restored and reprinted. I know my grandmother had boxes in her attic and new of a few that she really wanted to save. If you are scanning your own photographs in, then I would suggest scanning them in at 24-bit color at 600 dpi. Also if you are scanning in and fixing your own it is then required to show the BEFORE and the AFTER images. You will be using techniques learned in class like levels, clone stamp tool, content aware, and sharpening techniques.

The 2 restored images are two final products, however there is a second component or third image I'd like for you to create. Taking one of the 2 finished image I'd like for you to then place an object or objects into the photograph and make it make sense within the photograph this could be highly realistic or fictional/humorous. This component will reinforce the selection tools, layers, layer styles, and the tools mentioned above. The complete homework will then have 2 restored images before and after if they were your own, and 1 duplicate of those 2 with additional objects, people, things, extra.
