Digital colour tinting

Old Black & White photos can be digitally colour tinted and given a new lease of life. Our digital “hand colouring” service is often requested for customers wanting a unique photo gift for a loved one. We use whatever colour guidance you can provide and some careful guess work to add colours to the image.

We can also use this technique for heavily faded colour photographs. Sometimes the colour information is too damaged to recover and partial or full colourising is needed. Costs depend on the complexity of the photo. A head and shoulders shot on a simple background will be much quicker to colour than a group shot against a busy background.

Repair to faded colour photo damaged by sunlight

repaired sun fading
sunlight damaged photo
A common type of problem we see where photos on display in picture frames become faded from exposure to sunlight over the years. This picture had “suffered” twice, once in an oval frame and then in a narrow frame causing uneven fading. The colour information wasn’t great so we restored this to B&W and then recoloured it for the best results.

This modern digital photo looks to have been taken with the wrong colour temperature setting and has a very bad colour cast. The colour information was too bad to recover so it had to be digitally recoloured.

Customer Testimonials

I love the restored photo. My mum was disappointed when the photo got damaged and I know she will love the restored version. The photo doesn’t look restored, it just looks like an original . I am very pleased with the result.
Margaret Anne JohnstoneCoatbridge, Scotland
The photos look amazing; thank you so much. Some of them I really thought were beyond repair but somehow you’ve managed to make them look as if they were taken yesterday. The whole family are delighted and I’m being pressured to get more done! I’ll be in touch again soon.
Richard HarveyLongfield, Kent
I am very happy with the way my photograph has turned out, it is a Christmas gift for my grandmother and I’m sure she will be very pleased. I will be recommending you to my friends and family.
