Photo Restorations – Salvaging Memories

ADVERTISEMENT

I occasionally take on requests to restore damaged family photos in Photoshop. Some of these photos have suffered heavy damage, and I enjoy that particular challenge. Most are precious in one way or another to the client, and many times it’s the only photo someone has of a beloved or lost relative. I think it’s important to take one’s time when restoring such photographs. It’s easy to use shortcuts, but the best results come from meticulous care.

    Oh my! My mother would love this. The one b&w photo of my long departed brother playing in a concerto which she cherishes so much was folded in half and no one seems to be able to help. How can I contact this person?
