I Restore ‘Unrestorable’ Photos, And Here’s The Result (10 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I occasionally take on requests to restore old 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 beautiful pictures. It’s easy to use shortcuts, but the best results come from meticulous care.

The original vintage photo is on the left. On the right is the image after reducing the contrast adjacent to the tears and cracks, then filling the cracks using sampling of adjacent pixels. This can be done using tools in Photoshop like “content-aware” fill or the healing brush. However, in areas where accurate detail is critical (such as faces), I prefer to do this step manually by eye, as it keeps the highest number of undamaged pixels intact.

The image on the left shows the layer of sampled greys used to fill the cracks and tears. On the right, the green indicates the areas of missing emulsion (data). As you can see, it’s not as much damage as you might suspect. When photo editing the cracks, I work in a separate layer and fill only the areas of missing emulsion. I do not paint over undamaged or intact areas of the photo, and I do not blend the fill into the surrounding areas.

Much of the loss is in areas that are what I call “non-critical”, meaning there’s not much in the way of identifiable features. Carefully dodged/burned transitions in these areas will flesh out the face. The yellow areas are where critical detail has been lost. These areas contribute significantly to a person’s appearance. Loss in these areas can be difficult in photo restoration. But again, the areas are fairly small in relation to the size of the head.

Another thing worth paying attention to is the “big picture” areas of damage. Scanning a damaged black and white photo will often leave highlights and shadows that can be misleading. The dotted lines indicate where the large tears were, and where I need to pay attention to shading, distinguishing what’s in the photo vs. shadows caused by the scanner lamp. Knowledge of anatomy becomes critical at this point, so you can balance shading in a way that’s consistent with the shape of the skull and flesh. I usually squint or blur (then undo), so I can see the shape better.

The image on the left is what I believe to be a pretty accurate reconstruction of the gentleman in this cool photo. I arrived at using these sampling techniques (manual and digital), and blending using the smallest dodge/burn brushes. From there, I created details in the features that were both generic and suitable within the context of other features (right). This is where knowledge of anatomy and illustration skills help in restoration. You may not always be able to achieve “historical” accuracy with old photo restorations, but the end result will be much closer to the actual appearance than using other repair techniques. Save your shortcuts and tricks for areas of an image that are not as critical as eyes, mouths, noses. Working pixel by pixel is tedious, but the results can be rewarding.

I've got an old photo of my brother and I … celebrating our birthday; he was turning 7 and I was turning five. Our birthdays were two years and one day apart so we always celebrated them together. My brother died at age 24 back in 1977. This is the only photo I have of the two of us together. I don't know if the distorted portion of this photo can ever be restored; my younger sister is sitting at the head of the table on the right but really can't even be seen. Is there Any chance the distorted portion can Ever be restored? Bdy-5d111e...4ef937.jpg

I've done some restoration of photos as projects back when I was taking some courses on design in college and it's highly difficult to restore old photos back to their original glory and to have them colored after restore is even more difficult as you have to rely on descriptions often times even now with all those technological advances in Photoshop and other similar softwares, it's still difficult even for a veteran photo restorationist to restore photos back to their original glory and then some (such as adding colors and/or turning them into "HD photos"). I always love posts like these because people don't just restore any old photos since they will most likely have to shelf out a lot of money but photos that people want to restore are treasures to them even though to others, they're just "mere photos". This is why I admire photo restorationists like this guy, who puts in every dedication to the as though these are his own photos. Keep more of these coming BP!

I've got an old photo of my brother and I … celebrating our birthday; he was turning 7 and I was turning five. Our birthdays were two years and one day apart so we always celebrated them together. My brother died at age 24 back in 1977. This is the only photo I have of the two of us together. I don't know if the distorted portion of this photo can ever be restored; my younger sister is sitting at the head of the table on the right but really can't even be seen. Is there Any chance the distorted portion can Ever be restored? Bdy-5d111e...4ef937.jpg

I've done some restoration of photos as projects back when I was taking some courses on design in college and it's highly difficult to restore old photos back to their original glory and to have them colored after restore is even more difficult as you have to rely on descriptions often times even now with all those technological advances in Photoshop and other similar softwares, it's still difficult even for a veteran photo restorationist to restore photos back to their original glory and then some (such as adding colors and/or turning them into "HD photos"). I always love posts like these because people don't just restore any old photos since they will most likely have to shelf out a lot of money but photos that people want to restore are treasures to them even though to others, they're just "mere photos". This is why I admire photo restorationists like this guy, who puts in every dedication to the as though these are his own photos. Keep more of these coming BP!

You really are a very talented man who obviously takes great care and pride in your magnificent work. You are also doing a very kind and fine service in giving people their precious memories back with these amazing photographs and even going as far as colourising some of them. That is very special. YOU are very special. 👍💕😊💖

This is amazing.. You might need to work a wee bit in the mouth of some of those, but overall is super impressive!

Are you taking any requests for other photos to be restored? I would love to have you take a look at an old photo that I have.
