An Attempt To Preserve Old Photos : Photoshop retouching

As I was looking for my Digital Camera magazines, I noticed an album from my school days. I took it off the shelves and flip through page by page. Hahahaha... it's surely one hell of a memory. But most of the photos had turned yellowish and faded. They were captured way back in 1987 when I was in secondary school hohoho...

It was just then, I thought I could do something to the photos using Photoshop. So I scanned a few to give a try, using my HP scanner, set to 300 resolution. It took me nearly one hour to tweak here and there to come out with at least... "at least" better then previous...
