We take a look at The Clone Stamp Tool, The Healing Brush Tool, The Spot Healing Brush Tool and the Patch Tool and see how used together they can give you a really powerful arsenal of tools with which to restore an old photo. In addition, using a technique I picked up from the always amazing Deke McClelland on lynda.com, I show you how to sharpen and old photo without making it worse!
