Great for scans and old photos
Scanners and archives often produce large, high-quality TIFFs. Open one in PS Online and you have a full retouching kit:
- Spot Healing Brush and Clone Stamp for dust and scratches
- Content-Aware Fill for torn corners and larger damage
- Levels, Curves and the Camera Raw–style filter to restore faded color
- Crop and Straighten to square up a crooked scan
Open a TIFF in three steps
- Open the editor.
- Drag in your .tif or .tiff file, or choose File › Open.
- Edit, then File › Save as PSD to keep layers, or Export As for JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Keep your edits editable
Do your retouching on separate layers and use adjustment layers instead of direct edits. Save as PSD to come back to it later, and export a JPEG whenever you need a shareable copy.
