Good tutorial, thanks.I don’t have any photographs that are stained as I fixed them all using a very long winded method. So I thought to try using the practice iamges….but they are not valid PS files so can’t be used in PS.

@08fotos – For this image it was scanned at 600dpi and then our working file was a PSD file, but you can scan as a TIFF and layers are supported in TIFF format also.
@nearhartley – Please use a browser other than IE, there is an issue with IE that is causing the problem. Try Firefox to see it full size
+ it’s a better browser

To bad the movie is too small to see, it sounded pretty good.

When I try to open the practice images in Photoshop CS3 Extended I get a message saying that “Cannot complete your request because the file not a valid photoshop format”. I’ve not had any problems with the other images I’ve downloaded.

Useful and made practical. Wondering if photo was scanned and at what resolution and what file format you were using ?

This was a very useful and powerful tutorial. I never knew that the stains on the B&W photos are related to the color channels.
Can this be applied to the color photos?
