Photo Restoration
Those portraits hanging on your wall may be fading away
Take a look at the family photos and portraits you have hanging on your walls. The sun tends to fade them out over time. Check for backup copies in your photo albums or have them restored. In any case, you should get them digitized. Once digitized, you don't have to worry about fading. If the displayed copy fades, just have another copy printed and framed.
 
Even a badly damaged photo can often be restored. This one had stuck to the glass of a picture frame and was in very bad shape. I thought it might be unrecoverable, but patient and careful restoration succeeded in providing a look at a leading character from one family's past.
 
Get creative! Sometimes colorizing just a portion of a photo can make the subject pop!
 
 
 
Let me turn an ordinary snapshot into an outstanding portrait using colorization, removal of distracting backgrounds, and cropping.
 
 
This is a restoration of a small 2"x3" photo. The mother in this picture died when she was 27 years old so that her younger children couldn't really remember her. The restoration brought out more facial features and revealed previously unseen family resemblences. "It's like taking a trip back in time to see Mother again."

 
Get those old faded photographs restored before they have completely faded away. This is a restoration of a 50s era snapshot. A little PhotoShop magic and all the faces are recognizable again. Now its a treasure for the cousins and the generations to come.
