Restoring Old Faded Photographs Before They Are Lost

By Richard Williams


When is the right time to refurbish photos? It's virtually too late when there's boxes of photos or slides left in the loft; getting old. Damp, mildew or fungus could affect their condition and if they are in the loft, you've separated yourself and built a wall between you and your photos. Putting off the effort to climb around a filthy, dark loft is easy. But, that's where your memories lie. Give it a go. Scramble up there and bring a few boxes down with you. I'm positive that you will reminisce for many hours searching through old photos and remembering people, places, fun times and sad times. You may think "who's that person standing near Great Aunt Beth placing their arm on her shoulder?" If you could only see the image plainly through the faded photograph.

Okay, you've looked at them, everyone has them; black and white photos washed out to the colour of the paper base in one corner of the photo, and the other corner the image has vanished under a silvery sheen.

Wedding photographs from the 60s, 70s or 80s that may have turned orange, although they have been hidden in the album for 20 to 30 years.

Holiday slides now destroyed by small black specs, and how did those scratches get on them?

Not only can they make images appear, when you order a restoration photo you can request editing and other services to be carried out. For example:-

Making images perceptible isn't the only thing; when a restoration photo is ordered you can inquire about editing and other services as well. For example:-

* Take away messy backdrops; a telephone pole sticking out of the brides head, or the youth making the whimsical face
* Eliminate individuals from group photos
* Modify colours of particular objects
* Liven up black and white photos with colour
* Conceal backgrounds
* Exchange 35mm slides to DVD
* Construct canvas prints
* Increase or disperse sepia toning
* Restore photos to create unbelievable gifts, from mugs and large posters with your photo on them to coasters and framed canvas prints
* Your image printed on a traditional deckchair from your restorations would be really unique
* Old class photos from school? We'll insert names and place an arrow to important people

The list continues. If you refurbish your most significant photos, they will keep longer than your first photographs because of diverse printing systems, improved inks and dyes, and superior printing paper used today.

Shield your family's past and get those aged photos redone now with photo restoration services. While you're at it, how about a DVD backup?
