This 1890's photograph showed stains, cracks, and completely missing pieces. The sepia print version after restoration is shown at right.

Traditional color prints are prone to exposure to light and over time either the colors are shifted or they completely become mono tone. Below is an example of colors restored and spots removed.

This example shows a convex portrait from 1910's. These convex pictures require special handling and are very fragile. Once they begin deteriorating, they often will not last long. This one could be in a worse condition but we restored it to its once new appearance, then printed it on archival museum grade paper.

This is another example of a faded photo restored. Both color and loss of detail were recovered.

This faded photograph was also damaged in its darker sections with a sheen that hid its details. This is due to the fact that emulsion in traditional black and white photographic papers contained silver halide, silver bromide, or silver chloride. Over time the areas of higher concentration of silver compound turns into flat silvery black and the areas of lower concentration fade completely. Using unique techniques we recovered the details and this 1915 portrait of a great grandmother in her youth made available in archival fine-art print went on the walls of her descendents.

This small print showed severe cracks of various sizes. The project involved enlarging the portrait from a wallet-size to an 8"x10", so the tiny surface cracks also needed to be restored in order to achieve a clean larger print.

Removing fade and restoring colors lost

This is another example of faded picture that we recovered its colors in restoration process.
