We are pleased to offer state-of-the-art photo restoration to repair and preserve those precious photos for you and your family to enjoy and treasure for years to come. Working with digital restoration techniques, we can take an old damaged photo and give it new life! We can also make other alterations, such as removing unwanted people or objects, changing the background to a portrait studio look, or recreating a favorite photo as a watercolor, oil painting or pop-art treatment!
Below are some examples of actual restorations that have been done. Whether you live locally or across the country, the process is simple:
1. Provide us with the photo to be restored - this can be done in person, through the mail or via email for digital files. If you are providing a digital file for us to work with, either by email, on a cd or flash drive, the image must be at least 1MB or if smaller, close to it. The smaller the file the poorer the reproduction quality will be.
2.Tell us the specifics of what you would like done, if it is not obvious. For example an old photo of your grandparents with a large rip is an obvious fix. However, if that same photo has an a person or object that you'd like to have removed, let us know - we can do that! Another example would be if there was extreme fading and you wanted the color restored. If you knew your mothers dress was blue, but it's faded to grey, let us know you want it blue.
3. Think about what you want the new image printed on. We have a heavy art paper and watercolor paper that give a similar feel to older photos from the 40's and earlier. We also have standard matte and glossy photo paper to print on. We can also print onto canvas. A good choice if you're having a photo re-done in a stylized treatment, such as oil painting.
4. Enjoy your restored photograph! That's it!
