Collage

This collage (below) was created using three different pictures of the same boy. The images were all pretty damaged, and they needed special attention in different ways. No photo is ever damaged in the same way.

As you can see the images on the left are the damaged ones, and the collage on the right represents the restored images. Look at how the red image on the left turned out in the collage. I think it turned out very well, and the customer loved the photo collage.


CROP

CROP

Take a look at the family photo below. The customer wanted himself cropped out of the photograph. So we brought the color back to life, and rotated the image so the man was more vertical and centered in the photo.

The size he wanted was an 11X14. Doing this with such an image can have some undesirable consequences. The image had to be stretched out to fit the 11X14 size. Making the image a bit grainy. Still it really didn't turn out that bad. Considering the original image itself was an 11X14. You can see how small he is in the original.

Great half restored Photo





The images above are great. The customer did not want to pay the full amount to get the image completely repaired, but they did want the faces cleaned up. As you can see in the second image we have removed the scribbles. (please click on the images to make them bigger)

This is still a great piece even with the partial restoration. Look at the clothes they are wearing. What life must have been like back then. It's amazing when we look at photos like this and imagine the future. Who will be looking at the photos we took? What will they think about the time we live in?
