Back to 1982

The 1980s were a great time to be alive. This little gem needed some help. I had to remove the yellow colorcast and fix the washed-out area caused by the camera's flash.

After receiving a Photoshop facelift, this memory from 1982 will look great for another 39+ years.

Summer in the 70s

Here is a photo from the 1970s that I recently worked on.

The original is faded and has a magenta colorcast. There are some "missing" spots that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Now that it has been restored, I have to wonder what she was thinking about. She looks deep in thought.

From Cloudy to Crisp

This is one of my favorite photos of my in-laws. It was taken sometime around 1950, when they were first married.

The original had scratches, splotches, fading, and is quite blurry. After some time in the studio, it has gone from cloudy to crisp. I also warmed it up a bit by adding a sepia tone to it.

From Rusty to Refreshing

This little gem from the late 1970s is another casualty of the red colorcast that affects many photos from that decade. 

Now that I have spent some time giving it some TLC, it has gone from rusty to refreshing.

From Glib to Gorgeous

As you have probably guessed by now, I restore a lot of family photos. That's how I got my start.

The following restoration is of my niece when she was a baby. The photo was taken while visiting relatives "down south". Parts of the original photo have green splotches, while there is an overall pinkish hue. 

Now that it has spent some time with me in the studio, it has gone from glib to gorgeous.
