How To Recreate PF Artwork using Photoshop (PS) and Illustrator (AI) the Atari_Daze way
Most of what I’m going to cover is covered by VID1900 in his awesome and lengthy restoration topic but I figured I’d post my method for this in a single topic.
Over the past couple of restoration projects, I’ll be approached by a Pinsider asking how I did this or that, I felt if one person asked, there might be a couple more interested. So here is one way to do this.
I’m a complete amateur who does not use these tools daily. Thus, there are likely more efficient, better ways to go about this. This guide assumes one has the basic knowledge set for scanning and editing images and is using Photoshop and Illustrator.
This guide is for insert text and keylines but the principles would hold true for graphics also, those would be just a little more involved.
We start with a scan of the insert we wish to work on. This one is in black and white, but one could work in color.
