Restoration of Faded or Damaged Photographs
I restore digital images of photos that have been scanned to your PC. I can usually repair faded, out of focus or damaged images whether coloured or black and white. If you are interested, contact me at hendynz@gmail.com and I will give you instructions and a quote on the costs. I will not charge for any photos that can’t be repaired, or you are not satisfied with the result.
Below is an example of a recent restoration of a very faded photo taken of my great grandmother in the late 1800s.
