'AFTER PHOTO'
Our Corrections -
Our Corrections -
We . . .
 | Removed streaks from clothing and dog's hair, very carefully | |
| Removed red bleed-over from everywhere else (every tiny area) | |
| Re-colored the wall behind the couch by-hand artistry | |
| Repaired rips, cracks, tears, edges and missing corners | |
| Repaired tiny scratches using 600X power on-screen zoom | |
| Cropped the picture to center all subjects (erasing the couch) | |
| Re-colored her boots and removed a rip in her nylons | |
| Darkened the photo to clear up the washed-out look somewhat | |
< 2nd Set: A Very Precious Baby Polaroid from 1978; (2 years old)
BEFORE PHOTO: (Our Own Son)
Problems Summary:
Another Polaroid: 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.

BEFORE-PHOTO: Ferro-type - Circa: 1883;
Problem Summary:
We were first presented with an ash to black photo which we used our own program to rescue.
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: Our Corrections:
We're proud of our professional work on such a rare photo.
We patiently and completely cleaned scratches, oil, runny bleeding colored 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 1880 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.
We Thank the Owner of These 19th Century Tintype Photograph for allowing its Display.

BEFORE PHOTO: "The Missing Soccer Ball"
Problem Summary:
From Florida: A Photo Restorer in Florida was commissioned but did a terrible job (per customer)
We were Hired to Correct the Problems which Another Restorer Made. (yes we do that)
We were asked to Reproduce the Soccer Ball which the Florida Restorer had erased.
We will be using Computer Mouse FreeHand Drawing. (do not try this yourself)
ALSO: Glue is on the hair which will need to be removed and the hair will need to be reproduced.
The Black Plastic Frame is not needed - 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.
The bigger a photo becomes, the bigger its spots. All Spots are removed at 700-Power.

AFTER PHOTO:
Our Corrections:
We used Computer-Mouse FreeHand Artistry - The Mark of Artistic Excellence
With Computer-FreeHand Drawing, we Drew a SoccerBall, Blending it as if it was always there.
We also Drew a Shadow under the Ball also giving the shadow its own shadow for Depth.
It was like drawing a ball by using a Microscope. Blending is the Real Artistry. (See Arrow)
Also:
--We removed the glue THEN reproduced hair areas.
--We enlarged the photograph then zoomed-in, we cleaned off micro-spots all over the photo.
--We erased the cracks, its plastic frame then pulled the color to the edge and "dog-ear" corners

BEFORE PHOTO
AFTER PHOTO
Before Photo: An Oval which we show in a side by side comparison for good reason:
With the oval covering the leg in the lower-right corner and the arm out of sight too,
We need to Computer-Draw, Free-hand, ("mouse-draw") a new leg and the arm too.
As the white shirt blends into the white oval, we the arm and leg was to be made new again.
Then, the background with a marble pattern looks streaked and not intentional, remove that.
Blend its dark, dingy, dated look into a better background to update the photograph a little.
After Photo: Now look at the lower-right corner and see the leg we Freehand Mouse-Drawn,
and freehand-drew the arm which was blended into the white oval is now a real arm again.
Both the Arm and Leg never existed before we mouse-drew them into the photograph.
Notice the wrinkle in the jeans and the fade in the pants as if it had always been there.
That's our specialty at PixSavers, our "Recognized Artistic Excellence" which won't or can't.
We have permission from the owner to show this fine photograph to our customers.
