I just want to say "Thank You" for the tip on the gaps in the histogram. I have a lot o old family photos that have this old color cast and this tip will help immensely with time in bringing the color back.

Thank you so much, I'm restoring my mom's 1960's and 1970's photos of her, and this is helping a lot

Thank you for being clear and concise .

Selecting levels and holding Alt on the Auto option allows for some great automatic fixes of the colors. I use it all the time.

Thank you for this video! It helped a lot with restoring some old wedding photos.

Thanks. I was able to do the same thing in PaintShop Pro 7. It works!

[adam-user]

Great video! Thanks! Is it possible to do this on multiple photos at once while getting a preview on each of them?

I found this very illuminating but was wondering if you have a tutorial on how to remove red tint on old slides using Photoshop Elements 2019?

[inlovewithi]

I wonder what year those pictures were taken. Definitely the 70s or early 80s.

[mwiese]

could you help please, I have an old photo that was accidentally double exposed. can it be repaired?

[jenniferpegg]

How do I go about taking the textured / repeated patterns from an old 70s photo? I don't have an fft filter. Thanks

I've got hundreds or thousands of old color photos. How do I put them in Photoshop?? Do I scan them one at a time?

[theflipchannel]

Yeah...nice trick, you have turned level to red where photos were in the right color... then you back to right color, that's easy.... Try a original red photos into the right color.
