This 30 year old college picture was torn, wrinkled faded and damaged.

We repaired the damages, set the levels and brightness. Taking that picture, we added color from another picture of her taken near the same time period to stay true to her coloration. We slimmed the image down because it was unnaturally heavy.

This snapshot with flash caught one of the girls in a bad postiion which caused the "redeye" phenomenon.

We "fixed" the redeye and set the overal tone of the picture and sharpened.

This picture had distractions in the background and did not bring out the adorable details of the subject.

This portrait was one of the Variety store specials so common 20 years ago. The painfull truth is the paper was cheap and bled the red tint over the whole, ruining the portrait.

We color corrected to rescue the colors of the original. Set the brightness and sharpened the image. (This is harder than it sounds.)

Please do not wait until your pictures bled this badly. It is much easier to archive them now or to rescue them now. If your pictures are changing, they will continue to do so over time.

Once again, the same situation with the cheap portraits. Parents are trying to get a keepsake picture. Often they do not have money for a better sitting.

This was a nightmare of correction. We cannot stress enough for you to not wait until your pictures are this bad to fix and/or archive.

This snapshot of an old picture of this coulple's wedding celebration was hanging on the wall of someone else's home.

The couple had no pictures of the time around their marriage. For their 50th wedding anniversary, we took the copy and colorized it. The couple did not know that the work was going on.

The completed picture was framed and presented at the 50th Anniversary party much to their delight.
