From humble beginnings.

This photo was sent to me by Keryn for restoration last week. I believe it is a photo of the first T&T Childrenswear store.

The image has been badly faded and has also been in contact with another surface that has left a patterned shadow on the image in some places. I was able to remove the patterned marks using the stamp and patch tools in Photoshop. Then I had to paint in the missing areas that had faded away. A difficult task but I am pleased with the final result, the photo looks 100% improved and is able to be enjoyed once again.

Thanks Richard received they look great. - Keryn

Non destructive photo restoration with Photoshop

I posted this image a while ago now but today I thought i would add some explanation to my restoration techniques. I  always work in a non destructive method within Photoshop. The ability to work in layers means the original image can be left at the bottom layer for reference and all changes can be reversed. If you spend time making a good scan then it pays to make sure you can revert back to it at any time. So what layers do I use?  Well firstly I make a copy of the background layer. This enable me to run filters that can not be reversed such as dust and scratch filters. Above that you can see a clone layer. This is where all that obvious damage is repaired. Above that again is the dodge and burn layer. I do not use the traditional dodge and burn tool available in Photoshop. I prefer to use a soft light blending mode that can be adjusted and reversed if necessary. Next we have adjustment layers. These provide adjustment to the whole image, or just part...

Restoring badly torn photograph

This has to be one of the most satisfying restorations done to date. The original was torn into many pieces and required extensive Photoshop work to be painstakingly pieced back together. The original scan was the key to making this a successful restoration and invisibly repairing the ripped pieces into one full image again. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Retouch work - Removing people.

This is a typical case of a wedding photo that required some retouch work as it was needed for other purposes. So I was able to use Photoshop to remove the person on the right and make a new portrait for others to enjoy. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.
