If you are wondering whether you should restore your old photographs the first thing you must decide is which problem to fix first. At times it is easy to decide which should be fixed first, some photos might have tears or you may have a photo where your subjects have a bad case of red eye. However, some photos will have a variety of problems and they must be corrected in the proper sequence so when you solve one problem you may be correcting an entirely different problem. Here are a few problems you might attack.

* The first thing you want to do is fix any structural problems. Torn or ripped sections should be scanned and repaired using Photoshop Elements tools so that you will have a whole picture to work with in order to correct other problems.

* Your next step is to correct the contrast of your photos. Are they too light or dark? This can be easily overcome using your photo editing software.

* Correct simple problems such as "red eye" and dust spots.

* After adjusting the contrast, you can now tackle any color adjustments you wish to make using adjustment tools such as the color picker. You can lighten or darken any existing color, or change the color completely to suit your taste.

* Using the cropping tool you can remove or replace any content you do not want in the photo. Simply replace those undesirable objects with a more pleasing background.

All photo repairs can be easily accomplished using Photoshop Elements. Don't hesitate to experiment with the tools available in Photoshop Elements. You can always go back and undo anything that does not return the results that you desire.
