It has to still look like the person you remember
Restore photographic prints, album pages and slides - with faces recovered against the original rather than beautified into someone else.

What this usually looks like before us
Most restorers will happily hand back a sharper, younger, smoother face - and it is not quite your grandmother any more. Faces are weighted to fidelity rather than flattery and checked against the original afterwards, so what comes back is the print you had, repaired.
Four steps, and it asks you almost nothing
The console looks at the page, says what it found and what it proposes, and does it. You never have to learn the filing system to get the benefit of it.
Add
Photograph the print or the album page as it lies - do not peel anything off.
Look
The capture is squared and lit evenly before any restoration runs.
Restore
Surface damage is cleared without touching the picture underneath.
Finish
The restored face is compared against the original before it is delivered.
How the work is different afterwards
Survey, treatment and verification - the same three things the console shows you on every single page.
Faces kept as faces
Portrait recovery is weighted to fidelity rather than flattery, and the restored face is compared against the original before it is delivered.
Surface damage only
Dust, scratches and cracks are cleared from the surface of the print without touching the picture underneath.
Colour that drifted, corrected
Colour casts are handled per channel, because dyes fade at different rates - which is why old prints go magenta rather than simply pale.
It has to still be her
Most restorers hand back a face that is sharper, younger and smoother - and no longer quite the person. Face recovery here is weighted to fidelity and the result is checked against the original face before it is delivered.
- Faces recovered against the original, never beautified
- Dust and scratches cleared from the surface only
- Colour casts corrected per channel as dyes faded
- Torn areas across a face reported, never invented
- Resolution raised from captured detail for framing

Who this is for
Prints & Albums covers a few different jobs. These are the ones people arrive with.
Anyone with a shoebox
Start with the one photograph you would be upset to lose.
Family archivists
A whole album as one batch, filed rather than dumped in a folder.
Memorial and tribute work
A print worth framing, from the only copy that survived.

Have a document you are not sure about?
Send us a photograph of it. We will tell you honestly whether it is recoverable before you spend anything.
Ask usIt is specifically built not to. Face recovery is weighted to fidelity rather than flattery, and the result is checked against the original face - a restoration that quietly improves someone's features is not a restoration of them.
Faces recovered, not redrawn.
