Correcting and Restoring Color
Restoring faded color is fairly routine in the retouching/restoration profession. As mentioned earlier,
color photographs often suffer to varying degrees from the ravages of time and destructive UV light. The
following tutorials will demonstrate various methods of restoring lost or shifted colors, in increasing levels
of difficulty.
Tutorial 11: Color Correction with Levels (No. 1)
If you recall, we worked on this image in Chapter 3. It was originally overexposed, and the density was
restored by using the Multiply layer blend mode (Figure 4-19 ). The image was improved, but the color still
requires some adjustment. Because each color channel has a different tonal value, we're going to make
adjustments on each one, to revive both contrast and color.
