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.

Very bad colour cast
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

Thank you for the very quick turnaround, we’re delighted with the final photograph and I’m sure my parents will be too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to my family and friends.
Nancy JensenWokingham
Once again, a wonderful restoration. The photo I submitted was 76 years old, cracked and even had punched holes in as if it had been filed! I couldn’t be more delighted with the restoration. It’s just perfect while still retaining its ‘older’ characteristics – as I had asked. I didn’t want it glossy and brand new looking and I love it. Gareth has done quite a few restorations for me and I’d recommend him every time. I would never look a…

Delighted with the results of your restoration on the damaged photograph I sent you. After 90 years of neglect it was deserving of some TLC. Being the only photograph of my mother in her younger days I was particularly pleased to see such a good result. After experiencing several dreadful ‘restorers’ you should be proud of your work.
Jeffrey StokesLlangollen, Wales
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your work – considering how little you’ve charge I’m amazed with the work – you’ve done a cracking job! It’s obvious you’ve been doing this sort of thing for a long time. Rest assured, we will definitely come to you again when we get other similar requests.

Fantastic service from start to finish. We thought the photograph was beyond repair but how wrong were we? Simply beautiful results, it began as a very poor photo with a large piece missing, several stains and was ready for the bin. My wife was very upset as this was the only remaining memory. I sent an email [with a photo of the photo] to ‘2graphic Photo Restoration’ who confirmed that it was possible for them to provide their servic…
