Restoring Old Faded Photographs Before They Get Worse

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.

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.

Marriage photos shot in the 60s, 70s and 80s with an orange colour, even if they've been enclosed in the album for 20 to 30 years.

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

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:-

- Eliminate messy backgrounds - like the telephone pole extending from the brides head, or the bloke making a strange face

- Eliminate individuals from group photos

- Modify colours of particular objects

- Liven up black and white photos with colour

- Smudge backgrounds

- Exchange 35mm slides to DVD

- Construct canvas prints

- Insert or remove sepia toning

- Restore photos to design fantastic gifts such as coasters, framed canvas prints, mugs with your photo on it or gigantic poster

- Your image printed on a traditional deckchair from your restorations would be really unique

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

The list is infinite. If you refurbish your most significant photos with photo restoration services, they will have a longer life than the originals. Simply because of various printing methods, better inks and dyes, and better quality printing paper currently used.

Have your old photos reinstated and protect your family history and how about a DVD for backup?
