Greetings all! How to fix old stained grainy photos?

I know its been about a year since I have been here. Life got busy!
I hope everyones well.
Today i have an old photo from when my father was alive holding my sister when she was a little girl.
Age and time and abuse has done a number to this image.
While I have a generalized plan on how to  try to fix this, I was hoping for some eye opening pointers to help fix this image up.
as you can see there is spills, yellowing from aging and of course the poor qality of the original image to contend with.
Thanks for reading

Hi welcome to the Adobe Forums.
The pic that you uploaded is very sweet.
The thing that you have asked is how to improve the picture color and quality
Well to be honest there is no onle line answer to this
As you are also aware that with Photoshop there are lots of tools that you may use to fix the piture.
you can search for correcting skin tone.
you can look for tonal and curve settings in PS
You may refer to the below mentioned links in order to fix the image :

  • How to fix ideapad S510p grainy camera?

    Hello,
    How can I change the setting so that it won't be so grainy-looking? I suppose the camera itself suppose to be very nice...

    Hi Alice,
    Thank you for the reply, as there is default camera software for windows 8, please check by changing the settings in the default webcam application and also check if the issue is same in other applications like Skype/Gtalk. Below is the link for the default camera settings for Windows 8”:

  • Random shuffle - not random at all - how to fix?

    Hey there,
    I've got 276 on my 8gb ipod nano. Even when I have the device set on shuffle all songs, the ipod seems to have its favorite songs.
    To be more specific, it seems to shuffle only about 40-50 songs max. There have even been days when it has played the song twice in the same listening session.
    I listen to my ipod every day, have had the same songs on there forever, and there are a ton of songs that I've never heard when the ipod is on shuffle (which is 90% of the time).
    I have the latest firmware on the device - is there anything else I can do to make the device "truly" shuffle instead of rehashing the same 40-50 songs?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I'm having the same problem. It's absolutely right about it 'having it's own favorites' - I go out in the car and hear the same narrow range of tracks, and the rest never at all. I was wondering whether it looks at the 'played' count in itunes and decides that the ones which have already been played are popular, so keeps playing them, and ignores the ones with 0 plays, so they never get a look in! I have 400-odd tracks loaded.

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

    If you bought the music with another itunes account, then you will have to authorize the computer for that account.

  • I just got my dads old iPhone 4. I restored it to factory settings and set it up with my apple id. The albums in my music are fine in iTunes but on my phone the albums are split and each song is its own album. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    My dad has recently gotten a new phone and I got his old one. With his permission I restored it to factory settings and set up the iPhone 4 as a new phone with my apple id. Everything has downloaded fine but I have had many problems with my music. First it was where my phone didnt recognise my apple id, but I  figured that out. Then it was where iTunes took one of my albums and split it so all the songs where their own albums. I fixed the album split on iTunes but its still like that on my iPhone. I have looked online everywhere and I still haven't found a solution! I'm getting super frustrated! Does anybody know how to fix this?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix?

    Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix? FIle> get info>won't let me choose >Open this file with CS6. Forces me to use CC 2014 Illustrator which I don't want because I am doing client work in CS6 that I own and I do not have time to try out the CC version.
    I also do not like the black interface in illustrator as I cannot even see the layer icon at the bottom. I won't want to buy it if this is all that's offered.

    You can change the UI brightness in the prefs. Otherwise I'm not clear what your issue is. Handling file associations are operating system basics and you can look them up on a simple web search and from drag&drop onto the launchpad/ dock icon for CS6 to opening the files directly from within AI there sure are enough alternatives, don't you think?

  • White line onscreen in all applications.  I do not know if I did something or if this is some problem.  Everything seem to be working alright otherwise.  Any suggestions on how to fix this p

    I have an eight year old IMAC with the Intel dual core.  Today for the first time a fine white vertical line appeared on screen in all applications.  I do not know if I did something or if this is a larger problem.  Everything  else seems to be working alright.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Eight-year old iMacs did not have Intel processors. Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu to see something like this:
    Please post the "Version" under  the big "Mac OS X" and the "Processor" information. These can make a big difference in advising you how to proceed.
    iOS  4.1 currently shown in you profile will not run on a  Mac computer; it is only for iDevices (Pads, Pods and Phones), so fixing that in your profile can help you get answers faster because people won't to ask for more info before forming an answer.
