Here is a badly damaged army photo that Jessica sent to me of her Grandfather for repair. Jessica has kindly allowed me to use the image and I am going to feature it on the website. This restoration required quite a lot of cloning with photoshop. Jessica was very pleased with the result.  "Wow, that looks amazing!"

I digitally restored this 80 year old photo and now it looks like it was taken yesterday. It is actually an old black and white image that was hand painted over to look like a colour photograph. It is one of the best examples of this type of work I have seen. So congratulation to whoever the original print processor was. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Business is busy and the first part of my service is offing a FREE quotation on the work to be carried out. This week has been full of quotes. Assessing the work and trying to calculate the time required to do a job is not an exact science. The method I use normally, is to spend 5 minutes just quickly trying a couple of different methods on the most difficult part of the image. From this quick assessment I can then calculate the best route forward and also the eventual success of any restoration. A  price is then based on an hourly rate, or portion thereof. I always stand by my quotation, so even if I spend longer than anticipated I do not charge more than the quoted price.

A lot of older images were displayed in oval frames. As this was the fashion of the day. But this leads to many cut up images. This lady needed some repair and also to be made whole again. Vignetting was used heavily back in the day, and so this image has continued with that theme. Rectangular images can be framed a lot more easily, and can therefore be enjoyed more often. Have a great weekend everyone. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists. Click here for 'fancy view'
