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

I have shown the restored photograph to my mother. She is absolutely delighted with it. The original photograph had sat in an open frame on a bookshelf for more than forty years. As well as having been torn, virtually all the colour had disappeared and a number of blemishes were visible. Restoration was way beyond anything I could achieve with standard scanner software and Photoshop Elements. The finished result is amazing. What is part…

2graphic have restored a well travelled and highly damaged picture of my grandmother. The picture is almost one hundred years old, and was taken originally in rural Hungary, and has made its way to Budapest, Ottawa, Vancuver and finally London. The photo was bent, cropped to a very uneven shape, and had some missing parts to it due to folding it. With their work, it now looks like a studio portrait, in appropriate sepia colour. It has…
