Bringing Back the Detail of a Severely Faded Signature

[ajcutler]

Normally we restore photographs of people and places; however, we may also encounter a document that needs to be restored. Document restoration may involve restoration of handwriting, including signatures.

This tutorial is about restoring a very faded signature from a document. Be advised, this tutorial has a number of steps and will take a little time, but the results are worth it. This tutorial was done with Photoshop 5.0 and will work with all newer versions.
