Exercise: Photo Repair

Use the adjustment menu and related tools to repair the visible damage on the provided photograph.

Get a copy of the damaged file called Repair Exercise1.psd from me, or dowload a jpeg version here. Open it in Photoshop.
Save the file as mayName_photoRepair.psd. As you work, save often.
Note that there are two images when you open the file: the one on the left is the damaged one that must be repaired; the one on the right is how it should look when you're finished (save for the difference in size—leave the size of the damaged one the same; don't scale it down).
Use the various adjustments tools & menus to repair the photo. Below is a diagram of what needs to be repaired:

Hints:

Adjust the color balance first using either Image > Adjustments > Color Balance and Image > Adjustments > Levels.
Select the water stains with with the lasso set to about 5px feather. Then adjust using Image > Adjustments > Levels.
Use the spot healing brush to get rid of dust spots.
Use the healing brush to repair the "scuff" mark.
Use the clone stamp to repair the tears and remove the writing.

Turn in your exercise. Put your file on a jump drive (if you don't have one you can borrow mine), and give me a copy.
