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  PixelFIX - Photo restoration and photos repaired, from $15. The restoration and manipulation specialists. Click here for 'fancy view'

When colour film became popular back in the 1970's the technology of the film and the process of developing the prints was in it's infancy and was a technology that was advancing with each year that passed. As such many of those original colour photos have not lasted as well as ones from later years. Lesley sent me some classic examples of discoloured photos from that era.

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.

Whilst the rest of New Zealand was lost in rugby fever, Alex sent me this very sad looking photo hoping to get a clearer view of the house and people. The image was very small and lacked detail. even once contrast was restored the image itself was out of focus and blurred. But non the less with the help of Photoshop the final image can now at least be recognised and enjoyed once more.
