Our Photo Restoration Services...

State-of-the-art photo restoration services for discolored, faded, poorly printed, torn, crooked or damaged old photographs. Or, all of the above!  

We carefully assess the photograph for color shifts, loss of saturation, "muddiness" in the blacks and whites, dust and scratches and tilting.  Sometimes there is a good image that needs cropping to bring attention to the main subject.

We can enlarge images preserving the best quality. Sometimes, we are asked to remove unwanted family members, or to add people who didn't show up!

Fading and Color Casts

One of the most common photo restoration problems we see with older color photos is fading or a color shift caused by the differential fading of just one of the print colors (cyan, magenta or yellow).

Wear and Tear

Another problem we fix on a regular basis is wear and tear suffered by vintage photos that never had the good fortune to live behind glass in a nice, safe frame! 

We restore photo scuffs, dust and scratches, photos stuck to glass, and all manner of image ailments!

Photo Enlargements

Pro-grade photo software allows us to select the best custom designed algorithms to achieve the best quality for enlarging photos.

Prefer to enlarge (or reduce) your own images? Here are some DIY photo resizing suggestions.

Adding & Removing People From Photos?

Divorce - and bad boy/girl friends - means we get a steady stream of requests to take people out of photos. Tricky - but doable.  And, we can add people back in if they missed the snap for any reason!

Staining, rips, scratches, water damage, discoloration, fold marks, glass-stuck, missing pieces, pen or crayon marks... Did we miss anything? Good news: almost any photo repair issue can be fixed!
More art than technology, black and white images can be digitally hand-colored to bring out original color detail.  Or if fading or staining of a color photo is extreme, then selected areas can be targeted.
Have a photo or graphics project that needs a pro touch? Or a one-off poster, book cover or DVD box design? Check out our previous work then give Peter a call to discuss if we would be a good fit for you.

A word about PhotoFixRestore photo restoration printing papers

At PhotoFixRestore we use a range of photo printing papers - doing our best to match the original or to enhance the signal features of the restored photo print.  Here below are some of our favorites. (In addition to these papers we also have a premium glossy and a  premium semi-gloss.)  You don't need to be an expert in such things - just make sure your photo restorer is!

Exhibition Fiber

This unique media offers the same deep blacks, subtle tonal gradations and long-lasting results as the darkroom photo papers of old. Its fiber base has a rich surface, a continuous tone and soft gloss that are ideal for creating stunning color or neutral black-and-white prints that retain the look and feel of traditional fiber paper.
DID YOU KNOW?  We always work with very high resolution scans in our photo restoration services to achieve a high quality restoration.  A scanner setting of 300 dpi will allow us to make an image the same size as the original. However, to give you options in the future, we always scan photographs at settings of at least 600 dpi - normally more. 
This allows us or you to make enlargements of 200% or more. 
It is true that software such as Photoshop and Ai photo programs uses clever algorithms to bring out the most in resizing digital images. 
But it is always best to use a calibrated high quality scanner to achieve enlargements in the first instance.
