Restoration of Old Photos
Restoration of old photos is a process that allows you to restore their original quality and beauty. This can include eliminating all kinds of damage and defects, such as wear, stains, cracks, fading, color deterioration, etc. Photo restoration is performed using Photoshop software. Professional photo artists use delicate manual retouching methods to process images and bring them as close as possible to their original appearance. The following damages are manually addressed by professionals:
- Cracks, scratches, breaks...
- Stains, wrinkles
- Photo parts glued together
- Drawings on photos

Colorization of Black and White Photos
Black and white photos are a classic that will never go out of style. But what if you'd like to make your photos more vibrant and lively? It's possible!
Our photo artists offer colorization of black and white photos.
Using a special digital tablet and professional skills, they can add color and new life to your black and white photos.

Correcting the Effects of Poor Online Editor Processing
Modern photo processing technologies are continuously advancing, and many good editors have been developed for specific cases. However, when working with old, damaged photos that have various non-repetitive types of damage, achieving a satisfactory result without manual intervention is not always possible. That's why we often receive photos after using such online editors, with requests to fix them. In most cases, it's possible to correct them, unless the likeness of people in the photo has been compromised. In that case, it's better to send the original without any editing, as this will preserve the likeness and result slightly better!
- Correct inaccurate colorization
- Fix improperly removed defects and stains, etc.

Assemble and Mend Torn Photos
If your photos have been torn or cut for any reason and reprinting is not an option, don't rush to discard or attempt to glue or tape them together. There are much more effective methods! If you gather all the pieces, lay them out a small distance apart, and then scan them, you'll have the opportunity to edit the photo on your computer, greatly expanding the possibilities. And if you decide to entrust the processing to professionals, the chances of it regaining its original appearance are 90-98%.
Restore Missing Parts in Your Photo
On our website, you can restore missing parts in a photo. We offer professional photo restoration for images with missing portions. An experienced artist-restorer, using their skills and digital technologies, will restore the lost parts of your photo by either editing or intuitively drawing the missing area. If your photo has missing portions, send it to us, and we will let you know if restoration is possible and provide you with the cost and timeframe if applicable.
Remove Stains from Your Photo
Another problem we encounter is various types of stains. If the stain on the photo is not transparent, you can try using damp cloths for an initial result, but be cautious not to damage it permanently! For instance, you can try gently wiping the area where potentially important sections, people's faces, and other significant content are not present. If wiping such an area makes it transparent, even if the color is unnatural, it significantly increases the chances of restoring the photo. A photo with a transparent stain, like the example next to it, can already be fully wiped, scanned, and suitable for further digital processing...
- Water stains, spilled coffee
- Fingerprints
- Mold stains
- Children's paints, tape, etc.
Restore Faded and Damaged Parts of an Image
In the work of a master in photo restoration, various challenges are encountered, but one of the most complex and attention-demanding tasks is restoring faded parts of an image and repairing damaged photos. In this article, I would like to share some difficulties we encounter. Faded parts and damage are related, but the causes of these issues are often incorrect storage and time! As a result, some old photos begin to develop micro-cracks. At the next stage, the particles of the upper layer of the photo start peeling, and finally, even the slightest friction causes it to crumble, which severely damages the entire photo. If you notice micro-cracks on one of your valuable photos, it's better to scan and restore it immediately, as it will be much more difficult and expensive later... Preserve what's important!
Fix Photos Drawn on by Kids
Kids find joy in drawing, but there's something special about the ability to draw on photos – it's even more captivating. If your child shows interest in this creative activity, it's important that their inspiration doesn't turn into a replication of Kazimir Severinovich Malevich's style. Otherwise, your photo might become irreparable. However, in most cases, such a situation doesn't arise, and your photos can successfully be returned to their original state, with our assistance, of course.
Remove Textures and Paper Grain from Photos
Manual retouching, filtering, drawing, and much more – these are the processes needed for careful removal or reduction of unwanted textures and paper grain in photos. It requires a creative approach and delicate work with details to achieve the desired result. These same techniques are applied to eliminate newspaper or magazine grain, creating a smoother appearance.
- Enhance photos from newspapers and magazines
- Remove photo paper texture
What Does the Photo Restoration Process Look Like
Restoring old photos is a process that often resembles archaeology since recovering long-lost details and preserving the original appearance of the photo require a lot of effort, care, and patience. My artistic skills help me perform "miracles," as some of my clients say, and my extensive experience in this field allows me to restore even photos that seemed irreparably lost. A professional approach to restoring old photos, using modern technology and art equipment, allows me to preserve details and restore images. The process takes time, but the result that can be achieved is worth the effort! Restored photos will not only preserve memories of the past but also help pass it on to the new generation, which could otherwise forever remain without photographic knowledge of past generations. Therefore, restoring old photos is a very important process that can help preserve our history for future generations, allowing us to better understand our past and, if desired, create a family tree from photos.
Image Reconstruction
Enhancing Detail by Replacing Objects
This is one of the alternative methods of photo restoration where damages on an object are not eliminated, but rather replaced by a similar object, if the content of the photo allows for it. Reconstruction is often applied in cases of severe wear and blurriness on the photo. Learn more about photo reconstruction and when it can be applied through the provided link.
