Photograph Manipulation

If you want something extra doing with your photo we can manipulate it accordingly. One common request is to change the background of a photograph. Sometimes we’ll suggest this on a badly damaged photo as it can be cheaper to add a new background than repair a damaged one.

Another popular choice is to crop and isolate someone from a group photo, perhaps painting out overlapping bits from other people and adding extra background. Our sister site photo-manipulation.co.uk has more information and examples.

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.

Restoring a very badly faded photograph

This photo had faded very badly and had significant damage to the left side. We recovered what detail we could and set about restoring it. We added a new background rather than attempting to mend what was there to keep costs down.

Thank you so much for restoring a much loved photo for my sister and her family. It will be a wonderful Christmas gift. I never thought it could be done.

Received today my photos and once again you have done yourself proud. I would just like to say that “you don’t only restore photos but memories as well”. The other work I need you to do will follow on shortly.
Dennis NolanSittingbourne, Kent
I am more than pleased with the final work. You provided images for me that could not have be possible to have achieved as my wife passed away.

I would be more than happy to recommend your work to anyone requiring excellent work Thank you.
Mr R G PhippsNottingham
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.
