Photo Restoration

Our digital restoration process improves upon the quality of the original photograph. Beginning with a scan of your photographs, we then carry out the restoration work digitally, by removal of spots, stains, marks, creases, tears as well as digitally removing mould damage, improving contrast, brightness, colour balance and enhancement of facial and other detail, focus and sharpness.

We can also add or remove unwanted objects or people, replace backgrounds, or even add colour to black and white photographs. Check out the What We Do tab above to see the varied list of services we offer and for more information on each.

As leading photograph restorers our customers’ satisfaction is always top priority. This means we don’t ask for payment until you have seen and are completely happy with the work we have carried out.

Take a look at our examples to see the quality you can expect and also some of the many testimonials we’ve received.

Once the restoration work has been approved you will always be sent your restored digital files for you to safely download onto your computer/device and share with ease amongst family and friends.

We can also provide you with fresh new prints on archive quality 270gsm paper which will not show any signs of deterioration for 100 years under normal conditions. See more information on our prints.

Though we prefer to work from our own high resolution scans where possible, we can also work from your own scans and digital files if preferred. If you’d like to do your own scanning then please click here to see our scanning advice.

Sometimes our original photos can be misplaced or become lost altogether and so a poor quality phone photo, or digital copy is all that remains of those precious memories. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, even if you are unsure there is anything that can be done to rescue your photo. We will always be more than happy to help in any way we can.

This is the only photo our customer had of his relative and he wasn’t sure if anything could be done, luckily we were able to help.

It is always a good idea to check your collection of old photographs and albums. You may not realise there is a problem until you take a look at your photos after many years of storage. Our precious photographs often have a habit of fading away and in time may well become beyond recovery. There is also the possibility of loss or damage in the case of fire or flood.

Occasionally we can find that our photos have actually become stuck to the glass of their frame, after many years of being displayed. In these cases we always recommend posting the photo to us in its frame, keeping it stuck to the glass to avoid any further damage that could occur. We can carry out a high resolution scan of the photo through the glass and carry out our digital restoration work as usual.

It is a very good idea to consider restoring your special photographs or even your entire photo collection in order to stop the unavoidable deterioration that will take place no matter how carefully your photos are stored. Once restored, the photos can be stored and shared on CD or memory stick as well as your own computer. Once you have digital copies you needn’t worry so much about further damage because digital images do not degrade.
