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

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

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.

You ask if we are pleased with your restoration work. ‘Pleased’ doesn’t hack it. We were amazed at the quality of the finished picture, and cannot begin to understand how you guys achieve such a result. We know that we have shared nothing more than a simple commercial transaction with you, but we are genuinely grateful. Thank you. We shall recommend you to everyone and his dog.

Thanks for the couple of restorations you sent. I have to say we were really delighted with the results – just outstanding. Was also pleased with the speed of service and the way you actually reply to emails I sent to you – unlike so many online businesses these days!

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…
