This video looks like it was made at least 10-15 years ago and yet, in 2024 it's still fascinating to watch. I learned someting new about PS watching this. Thanks!
Been using elements for years (self taught...badly) and never knew I could do spot healing and sharpening on a separate layer. Also didn't know I could create a separate layer of all merged layers.
I think the only thing I might do differently is at 7:00 where you're cloning in the right sleeve, I'd copy the left sleeve on to a new layer, flip it horizontally, rotate, perspective (if elements has the perspective tool?) and blend it in.
Great job!! What would have been the difference of taping it back together with sticky tape at the back and then processing as compared to the way you did it with layers.
the sticky tape would probably cause damage to the original image later on, and may also show discoloration on the scanned image itself which just gives you more work anyways.
Hi great video, when you create a merged layer at the end, do you delete all the other layers before saving, thanks. I use and old version of photoshop 7 and was wondering if there was a major difference between the layers it in and the layers in elements ?
Be careful, when you use the clone stamp tool with a brush that's got a 26% hardness, you're degrading the texture ... You're adding blur to the image ..

Hi Zainab! There is a group on Facebook called “random acts of photo restoration”, volunteer editors can work on your dad’s photos for free if you post them there
so I screen cap and tried it not as good as you, but not too bad for a non professional. Might have been able to do a better job if I had a better copy of the image. Also I used Gimp. i.imgur.com/1hPg84y.png
