Have a faded, damaged, or incorrectly exposed photograph?  Our studio can professionally restore cherished photographs back to their initial condition or even improve the quality of the original image. 

All photo restoration work is done by hand to a digital scanned image of your photograph using professional photo editing software.  Our professional retouchers can adjust and enhance contrast, sharpness, and color as well as remove scratches, tears, creases, mold or water damage and replace missing areas of an image.  We can also colorize a photograph, cosmetically retouch faces, and remove or enhance elements in the photograph.

A recent restoration job we did was to repair and enhance a photograph of a client's grandmother taken in the 1920's. The original was faded, creased, scratched, and had extensive wear and tear at the edges of the image.  In addition to repairing all the damage to the photo that had ensued over the years, we also adjusted the contrast and exposure of the image.  As a finishing touch we digitally hand painted the portrait  to enhance and bring out her facial features.

Your images are then printed on archival quality paper, mounted to art board or a canvas stretcher frame with a professional texture, and coated with a protective UV finish designed to last for future generations to enjoy.
