restoration & correction


It's inevitable that paper photographs are damaged, torn, or simply deteriorate from age. Perhaps 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-1800's to the present. Several are linked to larger versions.


The original 1950s black & white image had a fold that had begun tearing. The clients requested the type of subtle coloring seen with color images from the same  time period.

 


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.

 


A typical Polaroid photo with characteristic discoloring and cracking.

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 was challenging. Obviously the original was in quite poor condition, including ink numbers over some of the figures, which I removed in the final product.

 


Here's a detail shot of the damaged lower right corner
