restoration & correction
It's inevitable that paper
photographs are damaged, torn,
or simply deteriorate from
age. Or maybe that photo just didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. Now it's easier than ever
to restore or correct a photo. Below are of photos I've
restored or corrected that date from the mid to late-1800's to the present. You can see enlarged versions of several images by clicking on them.
 
The original black & white
image had a fold that had
begun tearing and is stained
on the right side.

Faded photo with creases
and some light stains (yes,
this is my first grade
picture).
 
The original photo of this lovely little lady was way too dark, so she had to be lightened while keeping the background and shadows dark
.

Very old photo that's faded
and stained, but good details
could still be salvaged.

Original still had good contrast,
but was heavily spotted.
The final was also colorized.

This project presented a particularly
challenging restoration. Obviously
the original was in fairly poor condition, including ink numbers
over some of the figures, which I removed
in the final product. Enlarge either image by clicking on it.
