Hello,
I'm new here - but have some scrapping experience (6 month).
I've got some old photos (actually not very old) and the printing is fading.
Also the actual paper pixels are visible and disturbing.
I don't have the negative so I have to work withe the picture.
Maybe you can give me some advice of how to retouch this images.

The image is in my gallery : Old Photo -1 and taged with Retouching (http://www.elementsvillage.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=5)

Thanks,
Anda

I'd suggest straightening the horizon with the straighten tool, then fix the color cast imbalance with the Level command (adjusting one color at a time), and then would probably finish off with adjusting the contrast to reduce the "milky" look.
