photo repairs
Alan dropped off this faded photo that had lost its colour and needed restoring. Using Photoshop I was able to recover the colour and restore the vibrancy that had been lost due to sun damage.
The PDF looks excellent and better than I had hoped.

Ken sent me this old and tired portrait that had lost its colour and needed restoration. I was able to restore the colour using Photoshop and many layers of colour hand-painted to make this wonderful portrait come to life again. The colourization and restoration were very successful and Ken was very happy with the result.

This is really looking good. So much better than before. We are really pleased
We are back! Happy new year to everyone. Towards the end of 2018, I had quite a few clients requesting photo colourization. Either from Black and white photos. Or old colour photos that have faded or become discoloured and require restoration and re-colourization.
With Peter Jacksons new Film ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ boring old black and white film into the modern colour era it is not surprising that lots of people are now realising how much of a difference it can make to an old image.
This year has started off in the same way the last ended so expect to see many more colourization restorations to come.
Christmas is a time for giving. Why not give something a little bit special. Give someone a memory of a time gone by. Or turn memory into something new and fantastic. Such as colourizing an old black and white photo of a loved one for Christmas. Like the example below.
Russell brought me this wonderful old wedding photo for restoration. It had faded and discoloured. but I was able to restore the damage and return this wonderful family portrait back to its original condition. It can now be enjoyed for many years to come.
I hope you enjoy this example of photo restoration from the 1920’s. All restorations are carried out by PixelFIX Photo Restoration.
John asked me to remove a person from this photo that he sent me. This was so the restored photo could be put in to a book he was publishing.
The process of removing someone from a photo is a little more complicated than most people seem to imagine. I wish there was a simple magic brush that we painted over the unwanted area and then it removed the person. In reality there is more to this type of photo restoration.
Firstly we have to remove the person by cutting them out. On the digital screen we draw a selection around the person to be removed and then delete this area. This leaves a hole in the image and this needs to be filled by what we imagine was behind the person. In this case it was some steps and a wall. Using the clone and healing tools we have to clone surrounding areas to slowly fill in the missing areas to restore the missing pieces and complete the restoration.

Hi Richard,

They look great. Many thanks.
Joy brought in this wonderful old photo that needed to be restored because it had been damaged by her cat. This was a very old portrait of a solder that had been framed in a dome-shaped frame. This meant that I couldn’t scan this on a flatbed scanner as it was flat. So we digitized this by taking a high-resolution photo. This gave us a digital image that we could work with. In Photoshop we then removed the damage to the surface areas and replaced the background. The new background meant that it could now be printed and framed into a normal frame.
Cameron had sent me this wonderful studio portrait that had been damaged. The bottom of the photo had been torn off and we had to patch this up to appear natural. The photo had also faded and lost come of its colour. This was also restored at the same time. The completed photo now looks really nice and is back up on display to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Cameron liked the restoration very much and he left a wonderful review for others to see how his restoration turned out. There are many many more reviews. To read more please like the page www.facebook.com/photorestoration
Wedding Disaster Unfortunately there were lots of moisture damage. I believe someone had spilt liquid on it then tried to wipe it dry.
Please don't do that at home. If you ever spill liquid on a photo then please don't wipe it. Just let it drip dry and hang it up somewhere. Once it is dry then contact us and we can then restore the damage. As you can see below It looks better than ever now it has been restored.
