lew Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I was going through some old pictures yesterday that I haven't seen in years and came across this one of my wife and I that was taken more 50 years ago. The images have faded badly, the color is mostly gone and there's wrinkles in the picture. It's a great picture and I would like to get it fixed up with the color restored, the images made visible again and even the wrinkles somehow photoshopped out. Also the photograph is only about 2" x 3" and it'd be nice if it could be enlarged to maybe 5 x 7 or even larger. Is this something that's possible for a good photography studio to be able to repair ? Edited July 20, 2020 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Terry's done some of mine too Norm and he does excellent work but I also need to get it enlarged quite a bit but still keep it as sharp as possible so I thought an actual photo studio may be the best bet. There's a place down in Peterboro I'm gonna contact and see what they say.. Edited July 20, 2020 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I sent my picture to a photo studio in town and they say because most of the colour has washed out there's not enough definition left to do anything with the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree. You would need to reconstruct her face and clothes. it would take weeks to do right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
