RESTORING OLD DAMAGED PHOTOS?

Maybe you still have an old photo of your parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents somewhere. Possibly it got damaged over time? Photos are irreplaceable and have a lot of emotional value. Often old photographs carry significant traces of viewing them time after time, and going from hand to hand or they have faded by the light even when they were safe in an album. Often there are stains, scratches, creases and other damages on the photos. Sometimes so bad that parts of the image have disappeared completely. I would like to restore your old (antique) and badly damaged family photos for you and get the best possible result out of them. Old photos (black and white or sepia) can also be coloured upon request.

PHOTO RESTORATION: WHAT'S THE PRICE?

The cost of the repair is mainly determined by the duration of the operation. Since not every photo requires the same amount of Photoshop tricks or time it is not possible to use “standard prices”. So, it is best to request a quote in advance for the restoration of your beloved photo.

Under simple restoration we include: removing light scratches, editing dull colours, colour correction, getting rid of small spots, general improvement of contrast, 1 person in the image. It becomes more complex restoration when it involves multiple people in the image, correcting larger spots, restoring and creating missing parts, colouring in black-and-white photo, restoring ruined edges.
