In short, we do whatever is required to produce the best possible results. We fully guarantee our photo restore and picture repair service. What is photo restoration? Before the advent of computers and software such as Photoshop, most photo restoration was done by restoration experts such as museum art restorers. Repairs were applied directly to the damaged photo and consisted mainly of air brushing over the damage. This is still the preferred method for valuable historical photos such as those found in archival collections. This type of work is very expensive and not usually required by the average person wishing to repair old damaged family photos. Fortunately, it is now possible through the use of computers and software, to restore almost any photo at very reasonable prices. Instead of working directly on the damaged photo, a copy is made using a scanner. Once all repairs are made to the copy using computer software, a new print can be produced. The final digital photo file of the repaired photo can be saved as an archival copy and replaces the need for a negative. A snapshot can be improved by repairing flaws and adding enhancements |
