A Visit with Santa

Here's the latest restoration out of the studio.

The yellow colorcast was removed, the missing parts restored, and the fading reversed.

Not only did I breathe life into a customer's treasured memory, but I hope it scored some points with Santa to get on the Nice List.

It's all in the family

My customer was getting married at the end of October. Both of her parents are gone, so she wanted to have their wedding photo at the happy event.

The original photo was a 5x7, but she wanted it enlarged to an 8x10. In addition to upsizing it, there was fading, discoloration, and yellow spots all over it.

Both my customer and I love how this restoration turned out. This is what real joy feels like.

What treasured memories can we breathe new life into for you?

A Little Touch-Up

Not all of the photos I work on need a lot of restoration work. Some need a little touch-up and to be resized to meet today's print sizes.

This is one such photo. I did a little color correction and resized it to print as a 4x6.

The Studio is Hopping

The studio has been hopping. I'm working on eight (8) restorations, three (3) retouches, and five (5) custom photo keychains. 

This makes my heart very happy and grateful.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the restorations that I am working on.
It has a reddish colorcast, is washed out in places, and has a few scratches in places. I can't wait to post the finished product.

It was my honor

To say it has been busy in the studio would be an understatement, but it still fills me with great joy.

As you can see, time and the sun wreaked havoc on this photo of my client's son. Now deceased, she wished to have the photo restored and copies made for her other sons so they have something with which to remember him.

Having a brother who also served in the Marine Corps, made this restoration an honor and privilege to work on. Semper Fi, oorah!

Family Memories Restored

I really do love what I do. Restoring photos is my passion, it is my way of preserving the past for future generations.

With that said, I love how this one turned out.

The original had some minor fading and a red colorcast. Now its brilliant colors can shine on for many years to come.

Christmas 1995

To some, 1995 doesn't seem like it is too long ago. However, 26 years can take a toll on a family's precious memories. 

Because the photo was printed from a film camera, one would need the original negative and a developing studio to get another copy. It isn't a digital photo that can be printed over and over. 

There wasn't a lot wrong with this photo other than some fading and a slight colorcast. 

After a little time in the studio, it has been digitized and restored to its former glory. It will last for many generations to come.

Let us breathe new life into your family's treasured memories.

Check Out This Stocking Stuffer

In late December of 1970, the local hospital sent newborns home in a stocking. 

This photo restoration was of one of those babies. The photo was taken underneath the family's Christmas tree.

Future generations will now be able to enjoy this photo and all of the stories that go along with it.

What treasured memories can we restore for you?

Let us help with your photo manipulation needs

Purple Penguin Studio is here to help with all of your photo manipulation needs, including:

Restoration

Let us breathe new life into your precious memories. We can repair cracks, tears, scratches, and splotches. Colorcasts can be removed. Fading can be reversed. In some cases, even photos with water damage can be either fully or partially restored.

Resizing

Perhaps you want a small photograph upsized to a 5x7 or 8x10. Or, maybe you want a photo reduced to put in a locket, charm, keychain, or ornament. We can upsize and downsize images to meet your needs. 

Retouching

Sometimes we capture a moment that needs just a little help. The colors may need correcting or enhancing. Other times the shadows or highlights are too strong. In some cases, the photo is great except for some facial blemishes. We can touch up your photos to make them even better.

Digitization

We can scan your photos for electronic backup and storage.

Examples

Below are just a few examples of what we can do.

Rock-a-bye Baby

Photos, much like us, tend to show their age over time. 

This baby photo from 1968, was beginning to fade and become discolored. 

After a digital facelift, this photo may be 53 years old, but now looks as good as the day it was taken. 

We provide free estimates for all projects. What can we transform for you?

From Gloomy to Grand

Time had begun to take its toll on this graduation photo from the early 1940s. 

The original black-and-white, wallet-sized photo had some tearing, was cloudy, and had a pinkish colorcast that obscured some of the details.

Now it is much brighter and cleaner. Not only is it back to being a black-and-white photo, but there is also a sepia version. Both were enlarged to print as 4x6 photos.

This graduation photo went from gloomy to grand.

We'd love to help your treasured memories last for many years to come.

Photo from 1908 - Restored

I am proud to present the completely restored photo from 1908, that I have been working on for some time now. 

It was almost completed last week, but I had some computer trouble and lost several hours of work. Needless to say, I have implemented some changes to my version control and backup processes.

Although this was one of my greatest challenges, I could not be more proud of how it turned out. 

I would love to breathe new life into your treasured memories so they too can last for years to come.

From Orange to Original

This photo of a bride from July 1945, was suffering from the ravages of time. It had an orange-colorcast and a few missing sections.

The bride's daughter thought it was originally printed in black-and-white. After scanning and opening it in Photoshop, I was pleasantly surprised to uncover it was a full-color photograph instead.

Now this photo has gone from orange to original, and can proudly show off its true colors.

What treasured memories can we breathe new life into for you?

It's a Grand Old Flag

During 1976, the nation's bicentennial, many dance companies did patriotic dance numbers during their recitals. This group of tap dancers were no exception.

The original photo was beginning to fade and a reddish colorcast was distorting the patriotic brilliance of the costumes.

Now the 'grand old flag' is flying with its original colors in all its glory.

Here Comes the Bride

This restoration has sentimental value for me. It is a photo of my grandfather walking my mother down the aisle. Come October, my parents will have been married for 54 years.

The original colors have been overrun by an orange colorcast, and there is some spotting. After a visit to the studio, it looks just like it did on the day it was taken. 

It might not be my precious memory (as I wasn't there), but it is certainly a family treasure that will be around for future generations to enjoy.

Cute little redhead

As the years pass, our memories become faded and lose some of their details. 

When the following photo first came into the studio, it was suffering from this same fate.

After a little work, this cute little redhead playing in his toy car will "clearly" be around for many years to come.

It's been a while

Sorry it has been so long since I have shared anything, but my kidney issues have made it difficult for me to spend much time in the studio....
