Over time, the photo paper on which our most cherished images are printed will begin to succumb to the elements such as sunlight, humidity, heat and cold, and they will begin to fade and deteriorate.  The problem is compounded in our photos that date back 50 years or more, many of which are damaged from handling and improper storage.

Until recently, there was little if anything that could be done to rescue a torn, creased or faded photo and the mere idea of improving an image frozen in time by the camera shutter was unthinkable. However, with the miraculous improvements of retouch software and online retouch services over the past 10 years, any treasured photo can be restored to its original – or better than the original - state.

Thanks to the development of digital technology, getting the expert retouch service you need is as simple as uploading an image from your computer to the professionals; not only is it easy, it’s affordable.  Your original photo remains safely in your possession, while the retouch service works with a high quality digital copy, using state-of-the=-art technology and software to breathe new life into your treasured picture.

With damaged a photo, retouch begins with cloning those undamaged areas or areas from another photo and literally placing the copied material in the damaged portions of the photo and blending to match. It is painstaking but highly effective, and the results are spectacular. A photo you may have considered trashing can be retouched into a professional display-worthy portrait.

These types of repairs are generally inexpensive, and can be done in a short period of time – usually a day or two, although if the retouch service is very busy, it may take a little longer.  Often, the retouched photo can be returned to you the same day in case you need a retouch rushed.
