Preservation of old photographs is an important way of
maintaining the visual family history for future generations to
enjoy. Old, faded and worn photographs can be digitally restored to
create beautiful enlargements for framing and sharing with loved ones,
while keeping the antique original safe and intact. The utmost care
is taken not to damage or alter your original photo.
Procedure
A high resolution digital image file is created to maintain all of
the detail contained in your original photograph. Then the image is
adjusted for lightness or darkness and stains, spots, cracks, and
scratches are carefully removed to restore the image as close to it's
original condition as possible.
Additionally, elements in an image can be cropped, moved or removed
to create the desired image. Also, two or more images can be combined
into one photograph to create a composite image.
Original photographs make the best reproductions,
digital image files may be created while you wait (By Appointment)
and returned to you, provided the required deposits are paid. However, good
quality images may also be created from from your scans sent in on a
disk or via email. Other images require
specialized copy techniques and setups in order to create the highest quality
image reproduction. In
either case, the image must be brought in for examination for an
accurate estimation of charges.
Any image that may be subject to Federal Copyright Laws must be
accompanied by a copyright release from the copyright holder before
any scans or reproductions will be made.
