Restore Sepia and Clean up Dust & Scratches Many old prints just need some colour & density adjustments... and dust cleaning and scratch repairs. Original 4x5 Tintype - Restored to 5x7

Restoration and Colorization of Black & White

A simple background and subject are more straightforward to work with multiple people, patterned clothing and complicated back- grounds require more extensive work.

Restoring Colour

Sometimes we can bring back and improve colour; but in this case

we had to colorize the whole image.

Improving Density and Contrast

These adjustments can bring back detail but can also make scratches, dirt and staining more noticeable. Original was 3.5x6 - Enlarged to 8x12

Restoring Faces and Features

These can require more extensive digital work to retain features, especially if there are parts missing or severely damaged areas. Original 5x7-Restored 5x7

HOW WE DO IT...

Whenever possible, your original (photos 16x20 and under, flat/untextured) is scanned on our high resolution professional scanner which captures every detail. We take special care in handling your precious photos and documents…they are kept safely in-house and all work is done on the digital file, leaving your original intact.

For originals that cannot be scanned (prints larger than 16x20, textured/glossy surfaces, or photos that are mounted but have warped over time) we have to make a Camera Copy to get a digital file to work from.

Desired print size and surface is determined before work begins and you will receive the restored file on a USB. Once work is complete, we print your photo on your choice of our standard lustre, fine art or canvas. We also offer Custom Framing to perfectly compliment and protect your restored heirloom.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Quotes are determined for free on a per-job basis. Our staff must inspect your original in-person before providing you with an estimate; all quotes are based on the time required to complete the requested work.

For originals smaller than 16x20, there is a $20 set-up fee required to produce a digital file to work from. Larger originals will require a Camera Copy to be made.
