Restortation is not what we do. We take old photos and documents, scan them, remove tears, wrinkles and water damage. Print them out on new photo grade paper, ready for framing or for family heirloom photo albums.

Photo Repairs; Adding Names and Dates

Although it is not readily visible, the photo on the left had deep wrinkle creases and torn edges. The creases were removed, the subject was rotated to the center of the frame and a lot of background had to be added. The name and affiliation were also added to the 4 x 6 photo for display at a local venue. Enough border room to frame perfectly!

Removing People From Photos

Below, once again, the age of the photo is not readily visible, but the photo on the left was conifgured circa 1945. The client (the lady in the photo) had her picture added to his military photo that was "oil painting finished" after he was killed on Okinawa April 24th, 1945.

For the local VFW viewing room, we were asked to remove her from the photo and add his military designation. The photo on the right is the result. The light "patches" on his face were not removed at the lady's request. They were part of the original "oil painting finished" photo and not a result of the rework process.
