This Shows Our Free-Hand-Mouse-Drawing
Computer Artists like to creating things that never existed before.  
Here, we illustrate our skill of replacing body-parts and relocating a person
.
BEFORE PHOTO:  Problems:  (See Arrow on Photograph)

Our assignment was to crop the Grandmother, and place her into her own photograph.  
Re-Construction Needed:  Draw an Ear for the other side of her head (never existed before).  
Then produce hair that did not exist before, then lighten, sharpen, then enlarged the photo

  • FreeFree--HandHand--Mouse Mouse DrawinDrawingg is one of our owner's talents is one
    of our owner's talents.
.
  • By Free-Hand-Mouse-Drawing, we drew a a brand new SoccerBall
  • We also drew a shadow under the ball, giving the ball depth in its field.   
  • We removed the glue from the hair area and then reconstructed the hair.  
  • Then, cleaned off micro-spots all over the photo and then erased cracks.
  • We took away the black plastic frame pulling background color in the corners.
  • And then we the color and photograph to what tintype photos would had.

Note:  In this era, George Eastman was producing photos on brown plastic-like this one.  
Convinced that plastic was the future, Eastman preferred plastic for its shiny-surface like
tintypes.  
Eastman produced photo utilizing the 1870 tintype dry-chemical recipe along with mercury vapor.
BEFORE PHOTO:   "The Missing Soccer Ball" (Free-hand Mouse Drawn Ball)

Problem Summary:
Our main assignment is to produce a Soccer Ball which was erased by another photo restorer in Florida.  
We can Free-Hand-Mouse-Draw a Soccer Ball, as one of our owner's special talents. Check it out.  
Also:
Glue is in the hair area which will need to be removed and the hair will need to be hand-drawn.
The black plastic frame is not needed, so we'll get rid of it, then make this photo into a rectangle.    
There's spots all over the clothing.  We'll need to enlarge the photo
before removing the spots.
Otherwise, as we enlarge a photograph, its dust-spots also become big.
 We'll zoom-in tight.

BEFORE PHOTO:
Problem Summary:

A 1981 Polaroid:  
A 2 year old, captured in a Polaroid photograph in 1981.  
He is 29 now, and in the Navy, and wants his photo done.  

It has a "red-eye" problem and lots of dust-spots all over.    
Old Polaroids retain photo-dust in their pictures as they dry.
Our PixSavers owner didn't like the dust particles on the boy's nose.  
Flecks or chips on the chair, the wall looks dirty, or old, needs cleaning.  
The electric wall plug is not necessary and intrudes upon the photograph.
The upper part of the photo is not relevant, so that's where we'll crop it.
This 4X6 does not need to be a rectangle as a square will suffice.

I was most happy with the work he did, and the effort he
made to get the picture just right.  He is an old school
perfectionist, a quality sometimes hard to come by.  His
work is meticulous and professional at a very fair price.  
Considering the great quality, price and the ease of
working with Steve, I was more than satisfied.

The image of my grandfather is absolutely fantastic.  
Thank you for helping me to have this happy remembrance.
 I will treasure the photo and share copies with my family.

< 1st Set :   "The Red-Problem" This is not a problem.

BEFORE PHOTO: Problem Summary:
Our customer was the wife of a rock drummer with lots of kids.
I can tell you, this kids father is a great drummer in Seattle.  
Characteristic of the type of film used in 1970-80, its red came
through the paper.  Kodak had red, Fuji had blue.
We need to strip out its color, filter it a few times.
Every "red-photo" will always have lots of spots and cracks.

AFTER PHOTO  Corrections:
It's original size is 3X3 Square that needs to fit a 5X7 rectangle.
Cropping a square into a rectangle always cuts off some of it.
Getting to its true color was our main task as we filtered it.
After the red, spots and cracks over-ran the image all through.
Color corrections 3 times and then the boy emerged on drums.  
This boy is around 3 years old in this picture.  He is 34 now.  
In his 60s, his father is still a rock drummer in Seattle.

< 6th Set:  1883 Tintype Photo of a School Boy with its Original Colors Intact
BEFORE-PHOTO:  FerroType  - Circa: 1883 School Boy Portrait; (school uniform)

Problem Summary:
These Timeless Tintype Photographs Followed our genealogy, respectfully, from 1839.
For this one, we had a faded photo to ash or black as no color could be seen by eye.
It was thought to be Black & White, but with your own software its colors emerged through.  

Years of 19th Century dirt, oil, grime, scratches was still embedded; We decided to replicate.    
A detergent may have made the colors run and blend together throughout the photograph.   
The original photographer inappropriately painted gold buttons where they shouldn't have been.
A gold ring was inappropriately painted onto the child's index finger which will be removed.
See the black felt-pen streaked across the photo ruining the table cloth in the image.
 

AFTER-PHOTO:  
We patiently cleaned scratches, oil, bleeding colors and chemicals.    
We welcomed back a lost photo which originally may have had a grim destiny.  
A real family face emerged from the ash-grey images we had when we started.  
A boy, estimated to be relatively 7 years old in 1883 school boy attire,  
dressed in a private school uniform, appearing as a traditional 1st Grade.  
Appropriately hand colored but in those days the coloring was dabbed with a pin, not a brush.  
In a close-up 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 otherwise.
We cleaned, repaired and reconstructed this tintype photograph completely.
Now it's well Preserved in a Copy, with the Original Returned, and Packed Away.


Photo Insert:  Below-Left
This is the same tintype in its frame. They are always ash-color as we give it new life.  
It like a girl's leather compact case.    Photos are on the right, velvet or a mirror is left.

Tintype Era's:    Also, Complete Tintype History: "Tintype Photos"  

  • Daguerro-type: 1839-1840, Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerro first coined, "photograph".
  • Ambro-type:  1841-1863, John Ambrose had the first positive photograph recipe in America.
  • Ferro-type:  1863-1917, Emulsion of chemicals were pin-dabbed to blend color, like painting.

#3 Photo Restoration: Cleaned up, Cropped and Centered.
5th Set BEFORE and AFTER "The Big Nasty Scratch"  
 (Both together)

This deserves a combination Before and After Narrative:   

"The Big Nasty Scratch" was difficult.  We had another photograph to replace parts of the faces.  
In doing so, we needed to match skin tone quality per each person and per each photograph.  
Black and white photographs have a tonal level of their own, as the grays and blacks, in-betweens,
all have a blended shade of their own as faces, especially which are difficult to match skin-tones.  

All other persons in this photograph required very careful, slow movements throughout, all of it saved.  
Each woman had a different clothing pattern.  Some of it was pretty wild and crazy and needed attention.
The scratch went through those patterns, faces, and then there was damage in other places, as not seen.
Along with the faces and patterns, the driveway change to a grass field, as well as a chair fix and grass fix.
with grass behind, gravel in front, we made grass everywhere.  This project had feedback from the team.  

It's too bad that the big scratch wiped out the faces and the rock garden behind them. Behind the chairs
the rock garden was deleted, and then we filled that area with plants. The owner of the photo gave us
second photos to work from, so that we would have face transplants.  Otherwise, all of the faces would
have been lost for words.
