Retouching and improving old photographs

Retouching and improving old photographs

...to make them look as perfect as they can be!

My favourite picture framer, Frame-Able near York, contacted me about a client who wanted some old photos framing.

Why contact me?... I hear you all cry. Well, the photos were not in very good condition and in some cases only an inch square - that's a couple of centimeters in old money.

Basically, they all needed some intense TLC to bring them back to their original condition... and in most cases, better.

If you have any photos that you need retouching or improving, then simply contact me today for initial costs and timescales.

So, I set to work, scanning the old photos into the computer and weaving the magic of Photoshop to improve the contrast, the colour balances and sharpen the detail. A number of them had very severe creases and missing parts of the print, which I was able to successfully make disappear, or appear!

Once the retouching work was complete, I was then able to supply high quality Giclée prints, enlarged to a more sensible picture size.

The client was very happy and so too was my framer, who was then 'able' to 'frame' (Frame-Able) some rather lovely old photographs.

Another successful job done!
