Just trying out a different technique for show clients the finished proof of their photo restoration. The first way is what I normally send clients. It is just a simple before and after Jpeg file, sat side by side for easy comparison. But I wondered if a GIF file that automatically changes between the two images would be better. I sometimes feel that the side by side view doesn't always show the full extent of what areas have been improved or repaired. The GIF file seems to show this better because the images are on top of each other not side by side. I'm using this Anzac Soldier to demonstrate. What do you think? Did you notice more area that had been improved in the GIF or on the side by side version? Traditional side by side Different way using GIF PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

James brought along this wonderful photo of his granddad who served in the first world war and fought at Gallipoli, which is remembered this year after 100 years. You can read more about the battle at Gallipoli here http://www.anzac.govt.nz/gallipoliguide/  . Anzac Day is celebrated tomorrow here in New Zealand and this wonderful old photo serves as reminder of the proud and brave solders who served for their country. Jame originally just wanted the photo restored but once it was restored I suggested that it be made into colour and this has really brought this old photo to life again. Thanks Richard.  The picture is very nice. - James PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists. Click here for 'fancy view'

Leslie from Australia sent me this sad looking photo in need of some drastic colour restoration. The image is old and has discoloured badly turning everything a sickly shade of green. Using a photo filter adjustment layer I was able to remove 95% of the colour cast in one hit. Photoshop magic, love it.  PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Been a little while since my last entry. Seems that there just isn't enough time to do everything in life. Who knew!! But here is a lovely photo that I Nicole sent me. It needed some restoration in Photoshop to repair the damage around the hair and also some colour balance changes and improvements to the contrast. Thanks Richard! - Nicole.

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.

Val wanted some of her photos to be made sepia, to have a consistent look through a series of family photos. So I patched up the image and added a sepia tone to the image. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists.
