Capture Those Old Photographs Before They're Gone Forever!

By Mildred Radkinson


When is the perfect time to refurbish photos? It's almost too late if there's cartons of photos or slides left in the loft deteriorating. There are a number of elements that could cause such damage such as damp, mildew, or fungus. It's simple to procrastinate and never get around to searching in a soiled, unlit loft, but that's where they are; your precious memories. What can you lose? Get up, take a hike and bring a few boxes down. I'm sure you will enjoy your hours going through photographs recalling people, places plus fun and sad times too. You may also ask questions such as "who could that person be standing near Great Aunt Beth with an arm across her shoulder?" If only it were possible for you to clearly see the image behind that awfully faded photograph.

We've all kept them; and seen them. Black and white photos dulled to the colour of the paper base on one edge and on the other edge the image has departed below a silvery sheen.

Nuptial photos shot in the 60s, 70s and 80s are probably orange by now although they've been protected in your album for decades.

Holiday slides that's covered in tiny black specs, and how did the scratches get there?

A photo restore can frequently restore images that are hardly visible on print in most instances. The details that can be recuperated are astounding.

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:-

- Remove shoddy backgrounds; the telephone rod extending from the bride's head or the funny face by the young lad

- Eliminate individuals from group photos

- Change colours of certain items

- Liven up black and white photos with colour

- Smudge backgrounds

- Adapt 35mm slides to DVD

- Create canvas prints

- Insert or remove sepia toning

- Restore photos to create unbelievable gifts, from mugs and large posters with your photo on them to coasters and framed canvas prints

- Ever thought about having your image put on a traditional deckchair?

- Mature school photos can be altered to add names or highlight friends

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?
