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 images 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!

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.

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.  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.  This allows us or you to make enlargements of 200% or more.  It is true that software such as Photoshop 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.
