What We Can Work With

We work with high-resolution digital scans of original photographs. Suitable image types include scanned prints, digitized negatives, and older digital files exhibiting data corruption artifacts. The higher the resolution of the provided scan, the better the potential restoration.

What The Process Involves

  1. 01 — REVIEW: Assess the extent of damage on the digital file.
  2. 02 — PREPARE: Establish a high-resolution base file to work from.
  3. 03 — EDIT: Digitally clone and heal scratches, spots, and tears using intact surrounding data.
  4. 04 — REFINE: Adjust global contrast and tone to mitigate fading.
  5. 05 — FINAL CHECK: Ensure the overall aesthetic remains natural to the era.

Important Considerations & Results

Results depend entirely on: original image quality, scanning resolution, the level of physical damage, and existing detail. Severe damage obscuring critical details (like faces) cannot always be accurately rebuilt. Results vary depending on the quality and condition of the original image.
