Photo Restoration O

From the condition of this photo you would believe that this woman was very special to someone.  It appears that the photo was carried around in someone’s pocket, and was taken out and looked at numerous times.  Now however, it is in serious need of photo restoration.

Photo paper can easily become creased when it is bent.  Continued bending can cause the paper to tear.  Also, repeated handling can increase the fading and discolouration of a photograph.  Damaged photos like this are ideal candidates for photo restoration.

A photo like this one can be repaired in a relatively short amount of time.  Because there are not any parts of the image that are missing, the damaged areas can be quickly erased through a process called “cloning.”  It requires taking an undamaged area of the image and copying it onto the damaged area.  The finished photo looks like there was never any damage to begin with.

Once the repairs have been made the photo can then go through a photo touch up procedure to remove any stains of discolourations, and to repair any fading of the image.  This will restore the detail to the image, and will make the photo look like new again.

Having photo restoration done by an expert will let you continue to enjoy your old photographs.  All of the years of mishandling can be erased, leaving you with a beautiful photo to enjoy.
