This tutorial was created with Corel PHOTO-PAINT v11, but the techniques and tools used apply to versions 8, 9, 10 and 12 as well.
The first thing you want to do in a restoration/recolorization of a photo is to clean up the base image.
Take a look at the original image (below). It's really not in too bad of shape, but there are dust spots, etc., in the image.
Now take a look at cleaned-up image. The removal of stray hairs, wrinkles, etc., were all done with the Clone Tool. Normally, my settings for the tool are using a soft nib, anti-aliased, with a transparency level varying between 25% to 50% and feathering set to 100. I've also increased the contrast, clearing up the slight grey cast to the image. In this case, I did just a simple Image | Adjust | Auto-Equalize.
