very cool tutorial. I have cs6 as demo, but usually use cs2. In cs2 I had to do a workaround because the 'content aware' is not an option for fill layers. Instead I used the patch tool. Not exactly the same outcome but still very nice.
Hi I have a much cherished picture that has tons of cracks in it, but I am finding that it doesnt come up with the cracks showing white like the one above does? What am I doing wrong. I have created 3 layers, blurred the blur layer and then turned the original back on.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing this!!! I'd tried everything I could think of to restore some photos from the Korean war; NOTHING WORKED until I found your tutorial!! One teeny note: All my photos were black and white, and I noticed while taking out the individual colors with the hue/sat layer, many of the cracks showed up in color. I had to play around with each color to get the max number of cracks out. Just something to think about...thank you again!!
Just wanted to say this is a great technique! I had to change it a little since I am using Photoshop Elements, but it still works. I used it for a picture that has wear damage instead of cracks. It's also grayscale so I had to use the Magic wand and clean up the selection first but it worked well. Thank you for the tip!!
It was day 5 of restoring my heavily damaged photo. And when I say heavily damaged, I mean it. It makes your photo look like a joke. I had to set Gaussian blur to 120 to not see all the millions of cracks. When I set the blend to difference I saw a monster. Your technique did help, but it only got rid of the 1 huge crack. I have millions of small cracks that didn't get picked up.

Thanks a lot! This is really helpful.
Thank you for a super time saving technique.
Could you possibly show stage 2,the restoration of the image.
Thanks again for this technique.
Years later and this tutorial still saved my A**, thanks!

Brilliant & shortest cut. Nobody has been able to crack it like you. Just need to make it into action and it will work like an app or plugin
Very impressive

Impressive.
This method does not work for B&W photos :-(
I just used it on a grayscale photo, see me comment above.
Beautiful
