Antique Photo restoration

Antique photo restoration has long been one of my passions.

Not only restoring the color but also making digital alterations to the photo that I could not have done when the photo was originally taken. Removing a post from the middle of my head, to removing a partially seen dog in the background are just some of the things that digital restoration is now capable of. If I need to I can literally move or remove people and things. Make people look younger or older, heavier or skinnier. Even in some older photos replacing damaged or missing areas in the photo. The real trick is to make the restoration without altering the photo anymore the necessary. When done the photo should appear as close to the original as possible without making major alterations that would change the historical value. Repairing sun damage, cracks and tears are the usual repairs made to heirloom photos.
