Recreating missing parts

The same principal we use to paint out creases & marks can be extended to reconstruct missing sections of a photograph. We can use similar elements in the picture in recreating a lost piece. Also suitable parts from another photograph can be employed and manipulated to match the original image.

If you’re photo has a corner torn off, the edges cut to fit an oval frame or a section heavily damaged we should be able to digitally reconstruct those missing bits. Have a look at these examples to see how seamless these repairs can be.

Lost corner of a damaged picture is digitally rebuilt

One of our main techniques involves painting with photos whereby we sample the good parts of a picture to rebuild the lost or damaged areas. As you can see here we’ve used the wooden boards from the right side in making a new corner on the left.

Reconstructing the missing section of a colour photo

section of photo removed
This fond photo memory sadly had a big section missing. Fortunately we were able to reconstruct this section by “borrowing” the legs from the other girls.

Missing chunk of an old photograph is recreated

A sizable chunk had gone from the side of this photograph. Luckily the symmetry of the image helped in recreating it as we could mirror parts from the opposite side to seamlessly mend this picture.

Portrait photo with an eye missing

portrait with eye missing
A tricky photo to repair as one of the eyes is missing. We were able to use the “good” eye to recreate this missing piece along with repairing the other damage to the photo.

100% happy with the results..amazing what you can do these days with technology! Would recommend to anyone looking to have a picture colour tinted. Another picture is definately on its way to yourselves sometime this week and will use time and time again for old pictures that need restoring or if I would like a picture background taken out etc. Thanks again.

After losing my wife recently I was going through her things and saw the spare passport photos from a few years ago. It was a nice photo, a bit scatched and dog eared, but it was from before she had been ill. I thought that it was a pity it was so small as it would have made a nice keep sake if I could frame it, if only I could get it enlarged. Surely that can’t be possible without a negative I thought, so I googled the question and came…

The pictures arrived today and everyone was gobsmacked at how perfect they looked. Thank you so much for such a fast and friendly service. The lady whose picture it was was thrilled to have it back better than before. Again, many thanks.
