Thanks, Stevey!

Ah, there is no more "old way" my friend. All those retouchers, strippers, goldenrod, color keys, darkroom work, film negs, all gone.

Very rarely some of the old craft is needed to put together a viable "dummy" of a project. Assembling printouts to give a paper product with the look and feel of the final.

But I can restore an old or screwed up image with layers, layer masks, multiply and a gradient application of "levels" in Photoshop in a way that the retoucher could never, ever do.
