1. Faded old image One of the biggest issues with old photos is that they fade over time. Several techniques can be used to bring these images back, but this is one of the simplest I have found. 1. Open the original image in Photoshop. 2. Duplicate the layer. 3. Change the blending mode to “Multiply”. This mode multiplies the colours of the blending layer and the base layers, resulting in a darker colour.

4. In all likelihood the resulting image will be too dark, in which case you can reduce the overall effect by lowering the opacity of the layer.
