Could be in a spot of bother here!

Ruth sent me a batch of these wonderful old prints to be restored and as you can see, they are very badly spotted.

this is a very common problem here in New Zealand and in Auckland in particular, due to the constant humidity and dampness during the winter months. But using Photoshop and by isolating the red and yellow channels I was able to remove the spots and restore these wonderful photos back to a presentable condition.

Hi Richard
Thanks so much.
You did a wonderful job and I will have the pleasure of showing the rest of the family next week.

Christmas is coming!

It is almost here, Christmas I mean.

But whilst there may only be 1 month to go before the madness is over there is still time to get those old photos restored and made into wonderful Chrismas presents.

I will be taking order for restorations up until the last week before Chrstmas. The new courier service I am using will ensure everyone gets there finished restorations in time for Christms.

Below is a great photo that I have restored for Kaylm and he was very happy to have this restored and I’m sure it will make a wonderful Christmas present

BIGGER and BETTER!!

Old Photo Into a Canvas

Everett brought in a wonderful old aerial photo taken of the Botany Downs area in Auckland, from way back in the 50’s. He was looking to make this old photo into a canvas to go on his wall.

It was originally black and white but was then hand painted to make it look like a colour photo.  It was loosing its colour and was fading.
So I restored the photo and produced a large 30″ x 40″ canvas that he now has displayed up on his wall. Below is the finished product.
A large hand stretched cotton canvas on a wooden frame with full UV protective coating. This now looks full of colour and will last for many years to come.

Sennotype Restoration

​Paul Brought me this very precious old Sennotype slide. Unfortunately there was no colouring on this example. Either it has been lost or damaged, but it is no longer part of this photo. Paul is going to be donating this photo to the Otago Settlers Museum. This photo is a relative of Pauls’ and is of importance as he was one of those early settlers in that region.  It has now been fully restored as a black and white print which he will keep.

Just The Lady Please…

Jenny asked for just the lady to be restored and printed as a separate photo.

With some magic Photoshop work I was able to cut out the lady and restore the photo, make it black and white again and make a new background so that the photo is able to be displayed again and enjoyed for many years to come.

The photo looks great thank you.

See what’s possible!!

Tony had some old photos and this half frame badly damaged slide, that he wanted to have restored for his wife. The slide was very dirty and very discoloured. There were hundreds of small black mold spots covering this slide.
Using the digital ice feature on my scanner during the scanning process. I was able to remove these and with a few more hours of patience I cleaned up the photo. Then used several colour adjustment layers in Photoshop to correct the colour cast and sharpen up the image.
