3rd Set: A Very Precious Polaroid from 1978;
BEFORE PHOTO:
Our List of Problems to Resolve:
Another Polaroid: Yes, We fix Polaroids.
To Start: Taken as a 4X4, we converted it into a 4X6.
The photo has a "red-eye" problem.
There's excessive photo-dust everywhere in the picture -
That dust became permanent as the Polaroid dried during its processing.
We Especially didn't like the dust on the boy's nose. That was first on our list of fixes.
There are Flecks or chips on the chair.
The wall looks dirty, shadowy, or old, and needs cleaning up.
The electric wall plug is not necessary and distracts the eye from the photo.
The upper part of the photo is not relevant, so that's where we'll crop it.

TinTypes: Europe had the First Tintype Photo in 1725. Tintypes Came into the USA in 1839.
They might Scan in B&W - But as Software Engineers We Can Preserve their Original Colors;
PixSavers' Software Engineer Wrote a Program that can Capture a Tintype's Original Colors.
Even if Your Tintype Photo is Faded to Black, We Can Bring it Back to Life. We've Done Many.
DaGuerreoTypes: (1725-1840); They were Negatives Painted-Over of Images of Monarchs.
AmbroTypes: (1841-1863); John Ambrose Invented his B&W images but were Glassed-Over.
FerroTypes: (1863-1917); Dabbed with Colors Mixed into emulsion, made an 8 color pallet.
Extremely polished Tins were used in sizes In Small Sizes; Shrouded in a brass frame.
The Brass Framed Picture was Fitted into a Box and closed with a hook for privacy.
Tintype Photography required a gun-powder flash, that sprayed all over the subject.

BEFORE-PHOTO:
This Tintype was made between 1885 and 1890.
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.
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 maximum-zoom, we saw detail: the worn surfaces on the foot rungs of the stool,
and in more detail, folded socks which couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
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 Packed Away.
We Thank the Owner of These 19th Century Tintype Photographs for Allowing its Display.

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.
--Zoomed-in, 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.

Grandma's Head is Lost in the Crowd, in this 1889 Tintype.
Our Assignment was to Cropped Her Out of the Crowd, Placed into a Small 3'X3" Photograph.
He Needed to Keep Her Hair, Ear, and Body, all intact. There is not much hair to be seen.

AFTER PHOTO:
See the Arrow in the Top Photo:
We Copied-out Her Head Then Placed it on a Photo Space. Then We Created Hair, Body, Ear.
We used DIGITAL HAND-DRAWING (with a mouse) to Draw a New Ear, and to Draw Other Parts.
The Photo is Hazy but Later we Sharpened the Photograph and the Clear Photo Was Accepted.
This is Another Example of the Many Times We've used FREE-HAND - Mouse-Skills.
Free-Hand Mouse Skills Takes Skill and Patience. We Draw a Circles with a Mouse. Can You?

1st Set : 1970s Rocker, Wife and dog
BEFORE-PHOTO
A 1978 Polaroid Photograph
It was Destroyed in a Washing Machine.
Then, it was Lost on Beach inside the sand.
It has that Washed Out Look from all the water damage.
It has Rips, Tears, Cracks, and Red-Bleeds. It Needs a Complete Re-Construction.
The color of the red couch is running color almost throughout.
The wall looks torn apart but that's color-oxidation and emulsion-destruction.
There's streaks on the dog as well as the other subjects in the picture.
Its corners are missing, rolled, and rounded. The picture is falling apart from top to bottom.
The edges are frayed away and torn. This is far more damaged than fire damaged photos.
