Brief instructions for repairing photo. I will guide you through steps 1-7 because I want to explain some of the techniques.

  1. Paste picture
  2. Display Ruler Guides ; then Free transform to straighten
  3. Take a Snapshot (from History panel)
  4. Soft yellow, cloudy background
  5. Replace background
  6. Correct Colors
    • IMAGE>Adjustment>Levels
    • Drag Shadow to right; Highlight a bit to left
  7. Repair
    • Some of hair & forehead
    • White dot on lip
    • Black dot left of nose
  8. Crop properly
  9. If time permits, you can add a frame. And here are the detailed instructions since you're doing on your own:
    • Add a new layer at top; fill with ANY color (it’s necessary but will disappear anyway)
    • Choose Styles panel. Then from the options menu, choose Web Styles.
    • Scroll near the bottom and choose one of the Paper Clip styles.
    • On the Layer's panel, modify the style by double clicking "Stroke".
    • Then from the Styles dialog box, choose a stroke gradient that is less bright.
    • Also, make the stroke about 20px thick.
