Restoration and Printing
Bring treasured photographs back to life.
Old, faded, torn and damaged photographs don't have to stay that way. We use careful digital restoration techniques to recover detail, repair damage and create beautiful archival-quality reproductions of your most important memories.
“A photograph is the pause button on life.”
Some Memories Deserve a Second Chance
That photograph may be faded, torn, scratched, or showing years of wear—but it may still contain a moment, a person, or a piece of family history that can never be replaced.
Our goal is not simply to make an old photograph look newer. It's to preserve the character and meaning of the original while carefully repairing the damage that time has caused.
Every photograph is different. We'll evaluate yours and explain what we can realistically accomplish before beginning the restoration. Most restorations are $76 or less, plus the cost of a print (starting at $5 for a 5×7) in the size you prefer.
See what restoration can do for your photos
Every restoration presents different challenges. Here are a few examples of photographs we've brought back to life.
Damaged
Tears, missing pieces, creases and other physical damage can often be repaired digitally while preserving the original photograph's character.

Color Shift
Age, light and storage conditions can cause photographs to develop unwanted color casts or lose their original color balance.

Wear
Scratches, stains, dust and years of handling can obscure important details. Careful restoration can dramatically improve the appearance of a worn photograph.
Silvering
Some older photographs develop a metallic or silvery appearance as the photographic materials deteriorate. Restoration can reduce these effects and recover lost visual detail.

What Can We Restore?
Photo restoration can address many of the problems that affect older photographs.
Fading & Color Changes
Restore contrast, color and detail lost through age, light exposure, or deterioration.
Tears & Physical Damage
Repair tears, creases and damaged areas while preserving as much of the original image as possible.
Scratches & Surface Wear
Reduce scratches, stains, dust and other marks accumulated over years of handling and storage.
Silvering & Photographic Deterioration

Missing or Damaged Areas
Where enough information remains, damaged portions of an image may be reconstructed to create a natural-looking result.
Not every photograph can be restored in the same way. We'll explain what's possible—and what isn't—before we begin
