3rd Set: A Very Precious Polaroid from 1978;
BEFORE PHOTO:
Our List of Problems to Resolve:
This photo was taken in 1981; (we know this)
The 2 year old boy is now 26 years old, and formerly Navy.
The photo has a "red-eye" problem.
There's excessive photo-dust everywhere in the picture -
Especially dust on the boy's nose. The dust is permanent.
Flecks or chips on the chair.
The wall looks dirty, shadowy, or old.
The electric wall plug is unnecessary.
The upper part of the photo is not relevent to the photo.
AFTER PHOTO:
Our Corrections -
We . . .
- Cleaned up all the dust particles; one at a time
- Repaired the red-eye problem
- Cleared up the chips in the back of the chair
- Brushed away the streaks in the chair
- Made the wall plug disappear
- Cleaned up the back-wall to a consistent color
- Cropped the photo to center the subject
- Kept the original color in the seat for character flair
(Left) TinTypes: Here you're seeing its original form. Tintypes lived from 1839-1917.
DaGuerreoTypes (1813-1840); AmbroTypes (1841-63); Ferro-TinTypes (to 1917);
Made in 1" X 2" and 4" X 4" sizes, printed on polished tin, shrouded in brass and framed.
Most tin-pictures were taken in Black & White. FerroTypes were hand painted after 1861.
After 1861, they were hand-painted for color, of military uniformed officers, or soldiers.
The rich could afford pictures of uniformed students from private school, such as this one.
PixSavers is the only company which restores TinType Photos in Digital Imagery
Tintype Photos have been sent to us from all over the USA to copy and repair.
BEFORE-PHOTO:
This Tintype was made between 1865 and 1895
First, we were presented with an ash-black photo.
After several attempts to Get the Tin to Appear on Screen, its colors finally emerged.
A photo that was thought to be Black & White, was actually a hand-colored photo.
Tintypes were hand colored after 1861. (the year the civil war ended)
The years of dirt, oil, grime, and scratches emerged from the 19th century;
It was possibly hit with a cleaner which made the colors run and blend together.
The blue color in the photo was bleeding onto everything.
Originally, the photographer hand-painted gold buttons, a custom at the time.
And a gold ring was also painted onto the child's index finger but inappropriately.
A black felt-pen was streaked across the photo ruining the image even more.
The Photo Looked Almost "Impossible" to Restore.
AFTER-PHOTO: A Copy was made with problems removed:
We're proud of our professional work on such a rare photo.
Completely cleaned of scratches, oil, and runny chemicals -
We welcomed back a lost photo which originally may have had a grim destiny .
A real face emerged from the black metal and ash-grey images.
A boy, estimated to be relatively 6 years old in 1880 attire,
He appears to be dressed in a private school uniform - appropriately hand colored.
This appears to be a traditional 1st Grade memory.
At 700-power, we saw detail: the worn surfaces on the foot rungs of the stool,
and in more detail, folded socks which couldn't be seen in the original photo.
We saw the child's foot was turned inward possibly from boredom from the long wait.
We cleaned, repaired and reconstructed this tintype photo completely - from corner to
corner. Now it's well Preserved in a Copy, with the Original Returned, and Hopefully
Packed Away.
We Thank the Owner of These 19th Century Tintype Photographs for Allowing a Display.

1st Set: 1970s-80s Stage Rocker with Wife and Dog
BEFORE-PHOTO:
Our List of Problems to Resolve:
This 1978 Polaroid:
It was caught in a washing machine -- "It has that washed out look"
It was a nice photograph once and when it's revived, it will be again.
It's was completely destroyed and needs a total digital artistry re-construction:
It has rips, tears, cracks, and red-streaks from color-runs. (from the red couch)
The color of red couch is running its red-color almost everywhere.
The wall looks torn apart, but that's discoloration from color-oxidation corrosion.
Its corners are missing, rolled, and rounded. The edges are frayed away and torn.
Some Polaroids cannot be recovered. We did a lot of work on this one.
BEFORE PHOTO: Our List of Problems: "The Suddenly Appearing Soccer Ball"
The owner called us from Florida. Her Photo Restorer in Florida did a terrible job.
We're Very Well Known in Other States -- for Tintypes and the Oldest of Photographs.
YOU need to Focus on the Soccer Ball (Lower-Left Corner - See Arrow)
The Ball cannot be seen within the blend of the sepia tone. It's almost invisible.
We were asked to Produce a Hand-Drawn Ball - and - "blend" the ball into the sepia photo.
In other areas, We see Glue on the Photo on the hair; The hair will need to be rebuilt.
The Plastic Frame is no longer needed. We'll need to get rid of it.
There's Spots all over the clothing. We'll need to sponge the spots before enlarging.
The bigger a photo becomes, the bigger its spots. All Spots are removed at 700-Power.
AFTER PHOTO:
Our Corrections:
Digital Free-Hand Artistry - The Mark of Proficiently Artistic Excellence
At 700-Digital Macro-Power - We used Digital Free-Hand Drawing -
We Drew the Soccer Ball and Blended it into the Photo as if it was Always There.
We also Drew a Shadow under the Ball to Give it Depth. Blending is the Real Artistry.
It was like drawing a ball by using a Microscope. (Lower-Left Corner - See Arrow)
Also at 700-Digital Macro-Power -
--The glue was erased from his head, replaced by parts of other hair areas.
--His hair was restored by following a hair-shadow under the glue on his forehead.
--At 700-Power, we cleaned off micro-spots all over the photo to be ready for enlargement.
--We erased cracks, plastic frame, then extended Sepia color to the edge and corners.
--Then enlarged the photo to a 5 X 7 to fit into a common sized frame for the owner.
