Mending torn-up photos

If you’ve a photo that’s been torn into pieces we can digitally stitch it back together and make it as good as new. Even if some bits are missing we can usually recreate those parts using existing parts of the image. If sellotape has been used to “repair” the photograph (which usually discolours terribly over time) we can digitally paint it out too.

Removing a person from an old sellotape ‘fixed’ photo

We received this partial scan of a photo that had been torn and “fixed” with sellotape. The customer wanted the other person removed from the photograph along with restoration. We kindly obliged making a new background to match in order to paint out the unwanted figure.

Customer Testimonials

Just to say a big thank you for all your help. I was already impressed with the highly professional, friendly, courteous, low cost service before I saw what you’d been able to do with that faded old “dog-eared” photo – but when I saw the new photo, complete with recreated sections, all clear and bright, well….. WOW! Thanks again!
Mr D.P. TillerayPreston
I first came across 2graphic in 2008 when they did an amazing job on one of my wedding photographs. I didn’t have a picture of me with my brothers and sister together and they made one for me from the pictures I gave them. The most recent job they did for me was with a photograph I had taken on my iphone 4 and they turned the whole picture around for me as it was quite bleached and grainy. 2graphic provide a fast, professional and wha…

Have received the photos that you did for me and they are framed and on the wall. The quality is excellent and many thanks for bringing some old photo’s and memories back to life, very much appreciated.

So thank you for the care y…
