Do You Believe in Magic?
Photo Restoration
Faded color. Creases. Tears. Missing pieces. Sometimes a photograph needs more than a good scan.
Our restoration technicians combine high-resolution scanning with careful digital restoration to repair damage, improve color and exposure, and bring important photographs back to life.
Every restoration begins with a high-resolution digital capture of the original photograph.
Repair the Damage
Tears, Creases & Missing Areas
Digital restoration can repair many of the scratches, tears, creases and other imperfections accumulated over the life of a photograph.
Bring Back the Image
Color, Exposure & Contrast
Faded color, washed-out highlights, dark shadows and other age-related changes can often be significantly improved.
Go Beyond Restoration
Advanced Image Editing
We can also remove or add subjects, change backgrounds, create composites, colorize black-and-white photographs and tackle other advanced requests.
Every Photograph Is Different
What Can We Restore?
Restoration can address fading, color shifts, exposure problems, scratches, tears, creases, damaged backgrounds, missing portions, unwanted subjects and many other imperfections. The amount of work required determines the restoration level.
From Original to Restored
How Photo Restoration Works
Restoration is a digital process, so the original photograph remains unchanged.
We Scan
The original photograph is captured at high resolution to give our restoration technician the best possible digital file to work from.
We Restore
Damage is repaired digitally, followed by adjustments to exposure, shadows, sharpness and color when appropriate.
You Preserve
The restored digital image can be preserved as a file and used to create new photographic prints for your family.
