Here is a popular subject; Repairing old photo's of school days or ancestors.

In the top row, is a photo affected by salt crystals growing on the paper plus some physical damage, easily repaired, I do professional repair work such as this for only a few dollars each, ask for a quote.

The painting shown above left is a small version of a digital photo taken by someone of their painting which had since been sold, they regretted not having a good reproduction of the photo but with careful restoration an accurate version was restored.

If you have old newspaper photos, the halftone screens are quite coarse and detrimental to the appearance of the photo, the example above has been treated to remove the screen dots. See larger example below.

If you are writing a family history and want to include old screened photos, I can batch process them quite efficiently and when this is done, you can reproduce the new versions in a printed document without the dreaded moire pattern!   What you can see in the example above is not actually a moire, but the moire is what happens when you screen a photo twice which is what will happen if you offset print a photo like the example.

Send me your old photo scans for restoration or descreening.
