Photo Repair and Restorations |
|
|
The older a photo gets it inevitably starts to lose it’s original quality. We can correct the ravages of time. Virtually any type of damage can be repaired, from mold and water damage to photos torn in pieces. We begin any type of photo restoration with an over all correction of exposure and contrast, color/tonal balance, and sharpness. Sometimes this alone is all it takes to bring an old photo back to life. In cases where it needs actual repair we assess the damage and provide an estimate based on how long it will take to repair. We can also repair damage to any flat piece of artwork, such as a painting or drawing.
