 ,  hey what's up you guy sit's premier gal , here and welcome back to YouTube , channel here on this channel make , Premiere Pro tutorials on video editing , as well as After Effects tutorials and I , also produce just general video tips and , tricks to make you a better video , producer but like to think of Premiere , Pro as my hub right and off of that hub , I have spokes of all the different , software Use to achieve my final edit , so I sweatshop Illustrator audition , a whole bunch of different Adobe , software to achieve my final edit so in , this tutorial'm going to be showing , you how to restore an old photograph in , Photo shop and also bring it to life by , colorizing it so this would be a great , technique to use if you're producing , documentary and you have some older , photographs that you want to bring to , life after you colorize it you can do , the before and after with like a , parallax effect and it's a lot cooler , than just using the standard Ken Burns , effect to add motion to still , photographs so I have this photo here of , my grandpa from W on his wedding day , and I'going to show you how to restore , it and then colorize it so let's go , ahead and jump into Photocopied I'm , going to give you the play-by-play okay , you guys so I have the image here of my , grandpa inside of Photo shop CC W and , I have the first layer here of the , original image called original and what , I'm going to do is copy that and hit , command to copy it and I'just going , to call this by double clicking I'm , going to label that restore because , we're going to restore the image here , and get rid of all of these scratches , and blemishes that are on the image from , just being old I mean this was from W , right so we're going to use a , combination of the patch tool here as , well as the clone tool to get rid of , some of the blemishes here so the first , step that want to do is just crop the , image to get rid of some of the border , issues and we can just use the clone , tool to then fit , some of the leftover element so let's , just crop first of all and let's just , select this area here just to get rid of , some of that torn to fix that and then , let's hit checkmate so now we have , the cropped image and they're still , areas that we need to fix let's start in , this upper right hand corner here let's , just zoom in here for a second use for , the hand tool to move it in place so , we're going to use the patch tool to fix , this go ahead and select the patch tool , and then we're just going to draw a , lasso around this area and then come , back and then close it off and then what , we have to do is then click and drag , this area down and what it's going to do , is fill the area that we just got rid of , with with the selected area just below , USN't that pretty cool so then what we , can do is just use the clone tool to fix , that so go ahead and select out of the , selection area here and then we can use , the clone tool if you guy shave never , used the clone tool before it's , generally better to increase the brush , size so it's less noticeable and also , keep the opacity little bit lower to , forward like this around% it's okay , to go above but let's increase the brush , size to about W is probably good for , this so what we're going to do is hit , alt and click to copy this region and , then we're just going to click over this , area to fix it up so you know it's , looking little bit better and now we , can convert this part as well just , click until it disappears so that corner , is done I'going to do the exact same , method here just sort of cleaning this , up so I'just going to fast-forward , through this bit as I clone ,  ,  so then this area down here gets a , little tricky because of the shaded , lightness on the left and the darkness , on the right so what I can do is just , quickly reduce the size of the brush , really quickly and fix just these , blemishes here but Id on't want to clone , all of this because it's going to look , kind of funky to sort of have to copy , and it's a lot of work to have to copy , the different tones so what I'm going to , do is use the patch tool here and , actually draw a lasso around this entire , area so and then I'just going to click , and move it over to copy the area to the , right and then that's fixed so if you , click over it looks pretty good and then , down her ewe have another issue we can , do the exact same thing but first let's , use the clone tool really quickly let's , increase the brush size just a tad and , let's go ahead and alt-click that area , and let's just get rid of this crease , here by cloning that that looks pretty , good , great and now let'just get rid of this , area here using the patch tool let's , just go ahead and lasso around that area , like so and then let's click in move , that over like so and now that's fixed , and just to finish this off here I'm , just going to use the clone tool again , alt option click and then just click and , cover up and now let me just show you , what it looked like before and now after , so there's still a few more blemishes , I'm just going to clean up so I'm just , going to fast forward using the clone , tool to do that ,  ,  [Applause] ,  ,  all right so that's looking pretty good , here so now if I click the I off on the , restore layer you can see what it looked , like before if I click it back on you , can see that it's nice and cleaned up , now the last bit of restoring that we , have to do is actually create smart , filter to remove any last-minute dust or , scratches from the image so to do that , you first have to right-click on the , restore layer and convert to smart , object and then up to filter select , noise dust and scratches and here you , can indicate how big you want the radius , of the dust to be removed keeping it , around one and two is safe otherwise , you'll get some distortion and threshold , we can keep that at thirty just hit OK , and that'll get rid of any dust or , scratches in a radius of around two so , now that that is done now we need to , neutralize the color tones so to do that , first you need to go down to adjustment , layer and select black and white and now , the colors are neutralized in black and , white now we need to add some contrast , between the white and the blacks in the , image so let'sad a levels adjustment , layer and then using this graph here for , levels you're going to pull in the , blacks to make it a bit darker and pull , in the whites like so to have some , contrast so that's looking lot better , now you can see the lines on the edges a , lot better here great so the next step , is to select a color mod ewe're going to , select it Tacoma also smock as some , people say because you're good after you , select it you're going to select merge , and it'seagoing to make one layer the , reason why we change it to see Mk is , because not only is it better for , printing bu tit blends better when we , start adding the color so now we're set , to begin adding color to this image so , the way that we do that is we actually , create solid color adjustment layer , for each color that we're going to paint , on to my grandfather here so we need a , skin color weened an eye color hair , color , tuxedo color let's see what else this , rest , it's probably like dark brown color , and the background which Id on't know , the original color but I'm going to , guess it was probably gray so let's , start painting so to do that you're , going to select this adjustment layer , here it's like solid color and here we , just are going to guess Ina skin tone , so it'll be a lot darker because we're , going to apply a soft light blend mode , so let'sod about that and now we're , going to change the blend mode to soft , light and then you're going to select , this mask here and hit command-i to , convert it to black and this will enable , us to start painting in the color which , will appear as a ma skin this box so , make sure that white is selected because , this enables you to paint and click on , the brush tool or hit B and then we can , zoo min hit C to zoom in and fob back , to brush we can adjust the brush size to , be a bit bigger and now I can just start , painting in that color like so and , notice the overexposed area here on his , forehead that is not going to get any , color just because it's overexposed but , that'soak and it's just going to work , out to beseem more natural because in , the original image it's also blown out , so then you just go ahead and paint here , I'm just going to fast forward as I , finish his face ,  ,  all right so his face skin is starting , to look a bit better you can always , change the color by going back over here , clicking on the color and adjusting it , until you feel like you get the right , skin tone again we can go back in and , add some blush to it as a final touch to , really get that sort of warm skin color , so this can be a look feel Little bit , more you know less alive , I'm at first because we can add more , color as a different layer later on but , this is pretty good for now so you know , all we have to do now is just continue , to carry on and create a new solid layer , like we did before still have to paint , in his hands but let'just go ahead and , make new first let's go ahead and , rename this to skin color and now let's , go ahead and make a new solid for let's , say his eyes new solid color let's , make the eyes blue because he had blue , eyes like so and we're gonna change this , to soft light like before and then click , on the white mask and hit command-i on a , Mac its command its control eye on APC , and let's rename this eyes and I'm going , to create new solid color for his , tuxedo which will be black change Otto , soft light eye and so I'just gonna , fast forward as I create all the , different layers here ,  ,  all right so I have Alar for pretty , much every color now from background , skin color eyes black tuxedo black , tuxedo all the way up to lips and gums , and what I'm going to do is just select , the color that Want to start using and , start painting so I'just going to do a , time lapse AIs select the color , remember you have to select this bit the , mask part to begin painting and then you , just have to hit B for brush control , click to adjust the size and to tithe , size that you want and then begin , painting so let's just go ahead and , start painting his hands here ,  ,  so I'm just adding some blush to his , skin to make it seem more natural here , and again it's set at A's percent , opacity if I increase that it's going to , look like too much right so I'm just , gonna set that and around and it , looks perfect , so the blush makes it just seem more , natural all right on to doing the eyes , and other parts of the body , I'm just going to do atom-lapse here , of this ,  ,  if you make any mistakes at all you can , always switch these colors so now it's a , black color and then you can erase what , you'vie done so I'm just a switch so I'm , going to switch back to white to begin , painting again so that's a really nifty , tip ,  ,  I'm just changing the color the , background so it's easier for me to see , when I'm painting in I'm not actually , going to keep it blue ,  ,  so now we can change the background , color to anything that we like let's , change it back to here this darker gray , color it okay and now it's time to fill , in his tuxedo color let's go ahead and , click that and hit B for brush let's , make it a bit bigger and let's begin , coloring that in ,  ,  all right it'almost done here we're , just gonna fill in this armrest here , below and then we may be able to do a , before and after let's go ahead and zoom , in to this armrest select the color here , we may have to change the color later on , and then we have to do the ring and some , touch-ups so let's just zoom in here , select the mask and let's make the brush , bigger now let's beg into color this , armrest kind of darker brown color ,  ,  all right let's zoom out here this is , looking pretty Good like it and , because there are some blotchy areas , that's just from the original image some , of the damage I mean we can clean that , up , and I want to make this pant leg just a , little bit darker so what I'm going to , do is rather than create a new solid , color I'm going to create a new layer , bring this up to the top here and on , this layer I'just gonna paint black so , I'm going to switchback to black here , make the brush Little bit less , hardness increase the size a bit say , about there let's make opacity around W , and then I can just paint black over , this area so it's not as white and it , looks more natural and so this is pretty , much done here I think I probably just , want to add a bit more color to his skin , so I may click on that color and , probably darken it up a bit actually , lighten it up a bit just to bring more , color in let me bring it down that looks , a bit better though he dozen'look so , pale and so to pull up aside-by-side , here what it looked like before and , after let me just pull this out you can , see here on the left the damage is there , it's say Piton and on the right it's , coloured and restored so thanks so much , for watching you guys if this video , helps you out give iota thumbs up and if , you have any other questions please , don't be shy and leave a comment below , please be
