This professionally taken portrait photo has little damage, but has faded with time. This is a great example of correcting contrast and brightness, and re-colorizing a beautiful portrait.

 

After Years of Fading

Back to Before

This photo, although intact,  has stains, spots and scratches. These were all removed, the background replaced, and the overall image improved by adjusting brightness and contrast. The final image was slightly colorized, in keeping with the times, but a Black and White or Sepia toned image could also be produced.

These before and after photos show what is possible with an old family photo with moderate damage ...

As it was

Back to Before

Badly wrinkled and torn from being pasted into a photo album, removed, and then repaired with tape. This favorite, childhood photo lives again!

Damaged

Back To Before

These kids look like they're having a great time, don't they? But over the years, their picture has faded, yellowed, and has a few creases.

But that was all fixed!

 

Showing some wear

Back to Before

This was a fairly large, oval photo pasted to a backer board. It had to be scanned in sections, and then electronically stitched together, before other repairs could be made. But like the others, it ... Lives Again!

 

Little Shirley. Look's like someone took a bite!

Little Shirley - Back to Before

Just another example of what can happen after years of being pasted in an album or stuck in a shoe box...

After (years in a box)

Back to Before

This is one of the oldest pictures we've worked on to date. This was a small print on glass.

Way before my time
