Step 1. Digitize Your Photo

Before you start, you’ll have to create a digital copy of your photo. You can simply scan the picture, then save it on your hard drive. Another option is to reshoot the picture with a digital camera or even with your phone.

Step 3. Crop Out Torn Corners

The first step in making old photos look new is cutting away all the torn edges. Go to the Tools tab and select the Crop tool. Adjust the cropping frame so that the battered edges are outside it. Then cut away all the damage.

Step 4. Remove Scratches, Tears, & Stains to Make an Old Picture Look New

Go to the Retouch tab. Here you’ll find three smart tools to erase almost any defect from your old photo - from larger blobs to smaller rips. Let’s see how they can mend your photo.

• The Patch
  First, get rid of the bigger defects like stains or tears with the Patch tool. Just draw a selection around the flaw, then move it to various spots until you find a good source for the patch. Make the patch blend in seamlessly.





• The Clone Stamp
  The Clone Stamp tool is perfect for erasing medium-sized defects. All you need is to paint over the defect, then choose the clone source that will cover it up.





• The Healing Brush
  Finally, get rid of all the small creases and tears with the Healing Brush. Just brush over the defect, and the tool will blend it into the rest of the pic. There you go! Click the Before/After button to see how the picture has improved.

Step 5. Add Color to Your Old Photo

If your picture is black and white, you can colorize it in a click. Switch to the Enhancement tab and click the Colorize button. PhotoGlory will instantly make your old photo bright and vibrant.
