Photoshop Image Restoration and Retouching
One of the skills I've developed is the ability to restore old photographs back to their former glory. Picture retouching and colour enhancement can transform photos from simple snaps into works of art.
Whether you have an old family photograph or an historical image that is badly faded, damaged, torn or generally mistreated over the years it can be digitally restored to somewhere near it original state (or completely in some cases!).
Please see below a selection of the images that I have restored along with original images and a description of what needed doing to restore them.

Client never had a formal photograph of her Mother and Father. She asked me to remove herself from the Photo to just have them standing proudly together. At the same time I exposed some of the shadow detail, sharpned the image and removed all the scratches.
Bluring BackgroundRetouch Type : Grade 3 I was asked by a client to blur the background of a rider taking part in 2012 Brecon Beast Endurance event. This is a good way of isolating the subject matter from distracting elements in the background. |
