Portrait Damage
This photo, while fairly low in difficulty compared to much of our work, had some light scratches, a crease on the left, and several spots of mold. But the most significant alteration we made was to the background, which was originally blank and dull. By substituting in a professional portrait backdrop and vignetting the edges, we […]
Sun Faded
This type of photo damage is one we commonly see with framed images. Due to edges of this photo having been protected by the edges of its frame, they degraded at a different rate from the rest of the photo, which had been exposed to direct sunlight. In addition to correcting the colors of both […]
Agged Documents
We don’t only work with photographs. We can restore any image you bring us. With our expertise in image editing, we were able to remove the tape from the above marriage license and correct for the yellowing, restoring to the document to how it appeared when originally printed.
Missing Pieces
Every now and then we get a photo like this one, which would seem to require a near miracle to restore.

A difficult job, but one […]

Restoring this particular photo, which was only half covered in glass, involved not only removing the cracks and edges of the glass but also matching the colors of the area covered by […]
Tape & Residue
This photo was scarred by both a taped newspaper clipping and residue from another photo that had been stuck on top of it. We borrowed unmarred pieces from the photo itself, as well as selections from other photos in our extensive library, to restore the portrait to its original beauty.
Silver Mirroring
Often the result of improper storage, silver mirroring affects many old photographs and prints. Silver mirroring is a light blue, reflective sheen that manifests in the darkest shadows of a photograph. It may be localized and relatively unobtrusive or, as in this example, completely ruin the dark tones of an image. With such photos, we […]
Nearly Invisible
This was one of the most difficult photos we’ve ever worked on. It had so badly degraded that important details like the subject’s face and the texture of his uniform were nearly invisible. With a combination of our time-honed restoration skills and our powerful software, we created a finished product that looks as good as […]
