Missing Sections, Stains & Creases
Tears, stains and creases on old photos often occur when the pictures haven't been stored in an album or frame. With our expertise, we can repair your pictures and get them looking like new.
HEAVY RESTORATION: In the example above, we've removed the pen scribbles, replaced the missing section in the corner and filled in the creases. We've also adjusted the contrast in the picture and increased the highlights bringing out additional detail in the subject's hair, for example. Colour Enhancement
Faded, sun-damaged and under or over-exposed photographs used to be something you just had to live with. Using our professional software, we can colour and light correct your photos to bring them back to life.
LIGHT RESTORATION: In the example above, we corrected the colour of both the sky and the grass, removed the orange colour cast by adding a cooling filter, and corrected the skin tone of the subjects bringing the image back to life. |
Stains & Mould
Stains and mould on photos that have been stored in damp places can ruin the look of your pictures. We can clean up your images to make them blemish-free again.
MEDIUM RESTORATION: In the example above, we removed the mould and the large coffee stain, then recreated the section of the wall that was behind the stain. In this case we changed the sepia style in the photograph to pure black and white and added more contrast. Object Removal or Insertion
Unwanted objects or people in photos can ruin your perfect shot. We can remove your "photo-bomber", unwanted powerlines or other objects to give you the shot you intended. Or we can add in elements from other photos and blend them in.
MEDIUM RESTORATION: In the example above we removed the person from the image as well as their shadow and reflection on the water. We then recreated the section of water without the reflection, and filled in the missing sections of the road and mountain after the removal of the person. |
Our Photo Restoration Services
Photo repair and restoration involves working from an original print or digital image. Our advanced restoration techniques allow us to return nearly any photo to its original condition, especially those damaged by light, mould, water, or photos with general wear and tear. We can fill in missing pieces, smooth out creases, and put ripped photos back together again.
If you would like improvements or special effects, our powerful software enables us to add or remove elements, retouch portraits or even merge elements from other photos.
We price our restoration work on a three tier level (as below) depending on the amount of work required. Prices for each level are a guide only and may vary depending on the level of work required. Please complete a Free Quote form so we can firm up a price for you.
In order to undertake a restoration, ideally we will need the original hard copy print so we can make a high resolution scan of it to work with. If you are unable to provide us with the original hard copy print, please let us know and we will advise what resolution to scan it to before providing it to us electronically. Your restored images will be uploaded to our Cloud server for you to download. In addition, we can transfer your files to a USB*.
Turn around time for our restoration service is dependent on the level of work required to restore your image and who's ahead of you in the queue. An indication of how long it will take will be given once we have seen your image, but is not likely to exceed 4 weeks.
*Please note, to minimise the risk of viruses we are only able to accept brand new or if used, formatted USBs with no files on them. We can also supply USBs (see PRICING page for details). We don't offer printing services however we can transfer your files to a USB that you can take directly to a printers.
