The tools in Photoshop make restoration of old or damaged pho-
tographs seem like magic, giving virtually anyone the power to
scan, retouch, print, and frame their photo collections.
However, when dealing with works by famous artists, museums,
galleries, and collectors need to preserve original objects to the
greatest degree possible despite deterioration or accidental dam-
age. Professional art conservators are called upon to clean dust
and soiling from print surfaces, remove discoloration and stain-
ing, repair tears, stabilize prints to prevent future damage, and
even paint in missing areas of a work.
