Repairing scratches, tears and creases

This is the most common type of damage to photos, mainly from handling over the years. Images get folded, torn and scratched. Our restoration service can digitally repair all those crease marks, tears and scratches.

Pricing depends on the amount of damage, how detailed the image is and also the size of the original or amount of enlargement. A crease over a simple section of sky is a breeze compared to a tear through several faces on a group photo.

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.

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!
