Collage time...

Thelma wanted to create something special for a relative in america and between us this is what we created. There were 7 old photos, in black and white and some in colour that all needed to be restored before we could make them into this wonderful collage. In Photoshop I increased the contrast and clarity of the main colour photo and created masks for the inserts. then in separate layers I added the restored black and white photos to the collage. This has now become a unique and treasured gift. PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists. Click here for 'fancy view'

Repairing an old photo from a frame.

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.

Repairing old photo and background

Some more images from Val's genealogy research. I removed the marks and blemishes from the image and increased the contrast and density of the image. This one needed to be changed from oval to square so I had to extend the background and his arms and suit.
