Is it possible to fix an image like this old one of my grand father with the glare in Photoshop 7? If so, how do I go about doing it?

just a quick shot but you should be able to.

make a duplicate layer and adjust the LEVELS (Ctrl+L) then change the "blend mode" to Darken. Erase the right side of this layer to allow the underlying layer to show through.

Make another duplicate of the Background Layer and this time adjust the CURVES (Ctrl+M) Erase part of the right side again and set this "blend mode" to Hard Light.

Duplicate the original Background layer again and set this "blend mode" to Soft Light...

hope it points you in the right direction...

Wow! That's pretty good for Quick! I'm a Photoshop newbie though, where do I change the blend mode? Next question... Can the child's face be sharpened up any? LOL Not sure which uncle that is.

Okay, to change the blend modes look over at the Layer Palette and click on the arrow drop-down menu (the default is Normal) and you can select from there...

play around with the sharpen and sharpen edges filter (in the filters menu) to see if you can pull more of the child's features...

hope this helps,

:)

use a soft edge eraser (brush) and lower the opacity some and it'll blend between layers better...

LOL Well when you said erase the dark half I just used the selection tool and selected the dark half then hit Edit/Cut. LOL Straight line down the middle of the image. Total Photoshop Newbie here. I'm surprised I figured out how to copy layers on my own.

With constant software upgrades, the only difference between a "newbie" and an "expert" is six months ;)

i know there'll be some things in CS that i'll have to learn when i upgrade (i'm holding out for the company to pay first ;) )

any questions, just pop in and ask... we're always open 24-7 (sometimes in a row!)

One good trick to control good contrast on B/W shots is to covert to Lab color, select the Lightness channel, then convert to Grayscale. Ignore the other channels. Once in grayscale, duplicate the layer and set to multiply. From there you can adjust the top layer opacity. If you want to filter out set areas, create two versions, one normalising the overexposed areas, ond one normal one and history brush between the two.
