AFTER PHOTO:  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:  (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
.
< 4th Set  Changing Body Parts   -   Mouse-Free-Hand-Mouse Drawing
AFTER PHOTO:
Corrections:

  • Free-Hand-Mouse Drawing 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.

< 3rd Set:  1907 Soccer Coach - "The Soccer King" Needs a Ball Drawn
AFTER PHOTO:   
Correction Summary:

  • Red-eye, with manual manipulation
  • There is not really a magic button for it
  • Cleared up the chips on the chair-back
  • Brushed away streaks on the chair-seat
  • Brushed away the wall-plug to disappear
  • Cleaned-up the dirty wall, and lots of spots
  • Cropped the photo, then centered its subject
  • Watermark was requested, only for cosmetics,  
  • as we developed our own Website-photo-security.
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.

< 1st Set :   "Kid-Rocker on Drums!" Learning Early

BEFORE PHOTO:  Problem Summary:
This kid has a case of  "red photo syndrome"
It has that washed out look. Characteristic of the type of film
used back in the 70s and 80s, its red came through the paper.  
It needs a color-strip and filter it twice before it's gone.
Then a full reconstruction.  Under the red will be spots and
cracks to correct, before inspection or prints.  We're requested
to changed its size from 3X3 to 5X7 which needs a cropping.  
AFTER PHOTO:  Correction Summary:  
It's original size is 3X3 Square that needs to fit a 5X7 rectangle.
We resized then cropped to fit an enlarged rectangle 5X7.  
We filtered back the red, cleaned it out, getting to its true color.  
Filtering it back again, we erased
many age-spots and cracks.
Then we rinsed back the red again to show more true-color.  
The color came back as we filtered the red from the photo.  
It can be a short process or a long process, as in this case.   
This boy's father is a
real rock drummer in Seattle.

Before Photo:  

With the oval covering the leg in the lower-right corner and the arm out of sight 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.
< 5th Set:  Another Change of Body Part   -   Free-Handed-Mouse Drawing:
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.
 
< 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 History 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're proud of our professional work on tintype photographs.  
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.
