Black and white photo restorations
While sorting through your family photos you may find that many of your aged black and white photos are still crisp... however... photos 30 years or older are starting to turn a reddish brown color... sometimes refered to as "sepia"... a result of natural aging, dyes used in the ink, or method of processing the photo. These will eventually fade away.

What is photo restoration?
Blemishes are removed from the photograph manually, by painting over them meticulously. Unwanted color casts are removed and the image's contrast or sharpening may be altered in an attempt to restore some of the contrast range or detail that is believed to be in the original image.
