Wedding photos restored from proofs

I have restored these old photos for Lorraine from the contact sheet proofs. Back in the day, photographers had to print small proofs for customers to choose from. These were then enlarged to be placed in a photo album. These contact proofs were from a medium format camera and still have a quite bit of detail. They were badly creased and cracked. After the photos were restored I was able to print out to regular photo sizes for Lorraine. Thanks Richard, they look great. - Lorraine PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Knee deep in PixelFIX-ing

Saturday and still got my head down working through a pile of photo restoration work. Repairing damaged wedding photos for a customer who has rescued a pile of prescious family photos from certain death.

Photo repaired for gravestone.

This photo sent to me by Suaree was to be used for a headstone, but the resolution was too low and there was too many blemishes for it to look nice when enlarged. So using Photoshop I removed the blemishes and corrected the colour. I also interpolation the image to increase the resolution and give the headstone people more pixels to work with Suaree was very pleased with the results and I was happy to be able to assist. Hi Richard, thank you for your work. I love the result and yes we allow you to use our image in your website. I am also going to be sending you another job. We are very impressed. - Suaree PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists. Click here for 'fancy view'

close up photo restoration detail

Here is some close up screen shots of detail from a recent restoration. Just showing just how much repair work is required when you zoom into the fine detail. The final image is actual very small in size and as such make working with fine detail so much harder. This is straight after scanning and zooming in to 100% so all the damage can be seen This is after some clean up and enhancements to reveal more of the detail.  PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Restoring old soldier photo.

There are lots of old photos like these hidden away. They do represent a slice of history and as such are very important. Not just as a family heirloom but as a documentation of the war and those that fought. Restoring these images and retaining as much from the original image as possible is very important. Below is such an image where creases and a damaged corner were repaired to look as good as new. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15.

Restoring the smile in this damaged photograph

This is a great photo spoilt because of light damage to the film. Light entering the camera has fogged the film and created this red discolouration when printed. I have removed the colour stain and the photo is now much more enjoyable to look at.  PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists.
