Over the years photos tend to fade, they get folded and creased, torn and in
many cases the family, rather than look at the photos just put the memories back
in a box or worse, toss them out. Why not let us help you recapture those
memories. Using the latest in digital software tools we can, in most case,
restore you photos so that they can be framed or put into a photo album. In some
severe cases the only way to restore the photo is through hand
repainting/retouching. In these case, we can give you an estimate before doing
any work.

James Talmadge - WW I Military Photo |
|
This photo, as many during the era was an oval print that was made so that when framed it did not lay flat but actually bubbled out to give a 3-dimensional effect. Before restoration this photo had a tear from the top straight down through the nose approximately 1/4" in width as a result of being stored flat. After restoration the tear is barely visible. |
