Photo Restoration Processes

Our photo restoration process is designed to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos. Here’s how we approach each project:

Scanning

We start by scanning your printed photos using high-resolution 600 dpi scanners. This provides a digital version of the photo that is ideal for further processing. For photos on glass plates, we use special care to avoid additional damage caused by prolonged light exposure.

Color Correction

Color imbalances due to aging or mishandling are corrected by adjusting hues, saturation, and color balance. Our goal is to maintain the original colors while addressing any discoloration that has occurred over time.

Sharpness Addition & Detailing

In cases of severe damage, we clean the entire image for color correction and meticulously reconstruct any missing details. This process ensures that the final image is uniform and smooth, with all elements seamlessly blended.

Redesigning the Presentation

We offer additional redesign services to enhance the presentation of your photos. This can include adding borders, creating collages, or emphasizing specific subjects to make the photo more visually appealing and useful.

Antique and Modern Restoration

Our team specializes in both antique and modern photo restoration. We understand the value of historical and sentimental photographs, whether they document political events, organizational milestones, or family heritage. Our approach is designed to avoid any damaging effects on the photograph while delivering effective restoration results.
