This was one of the most difficult jobs we've done at www.fixyourphoto.com in a while. The original was a tin image, most likely from the late 1800's. Upon first viewing the image it looked fairly simple. The contrast and sharpness needed to be brought out. A few of the corners needed to be replaced. Pretty cut and dry no big deal right?
Wrong!!! Look what happened (above) when we brought the image back to life with enhancements.
The amount of scratches on the image was far more than we originally anticipated. (click image below to see scratches close up)
It took many hours to complete this photo repair job. There were many times I had to switch and look at a different project. Sometimes it's hard to look at the same photo hour after hour. The mind can get very bored. How many people out there go to a museum and just stare at the same piece of art for hours on end. I want to look at different images. I think everyone does. Especially today's society with all of our gadgets and distractions. We've got new devices coming out every week. The new Iphone just came out for example. I think it's called the Iphone4. People camped out at the Apple stores over night just so they could have the newest gadget to suck the soul out.
Have you ever heard of someone being afraid that a camera would steal part of their soul. Maybe it's actually these new devices that are truly stealing our souls. I can't tell you how many times I've walked down the street and there were several people engaged in their devices, and not the world happening right in front of them.
There have been people who have died texting and driving. People are putting their devices in front of their lives.
Where were we again? Oh yes the photo. The final image is below. It turned out very well. The long hours paid off in the end. The customer and my self are very happy with the results. Put that on your Iphone and view it huh!!!
