crash course for removing scratchmarks....

zoossh · 29th March 2006

am using photoshop elements (more familiar) and also have photoshop 7 (hardly used), have little knowledge of photoediting....

now trying to revive some old photos for my girlfriend childhood pic, already adjusted the levels, saturation, hue and contrast by the available slideable setting in the photoshop elements but didn't know where to start to learn how to remove the scratchmarks of a scanned photo. willing to learn and is now searching for the solution but wonder if someone can help to make that faster if you happen to have a link or already know how to describe in a few simple steps.

appreciate any help.... thanks.

I have not tried it myself and am not sure if it will work in your case, but it is worth a try.

go to the actions palette, there's a button at the side, like a play button like that. click on it and a menu comes down. in the menu there should be an option for u to load action set or something like that. that's where u can save your action set too.

hope i got that right. was just learning the basics of actions in photoshop yesterday.
