PHOTO RESTORATION



Negative Restoration

This original negative was scratched and baked with dirt due to improper storage and mishandling over the years.  By using 
a negative cleaner to remove the surface dirt and then applying a scratch remover solution to the negative, I was able to scan the 
negative into the computer at high resolution and then removed all remaining scratches and dirt with computer imaging software.  


Digital Photo Restoration


By scanning the original print into the computer at high resolution, I was able to paint out the surface 
scratches and other flaws using computer imaging software, as well as recreate the missing section .  


Darkroom Printing

By taking the original negative and using multi-contrast filters and a negative cleaner in the darkroom, I was able to get far better 
tones and a much cleaner print than the original. 


Digital Colour Correction

By using a variety of colour adjustment tools such as colour correction, levels, 
saturation and contrast, I was able to vivify this already stunning photo. 


Photo Manipulation

By using digital editing software I was able to paint out the light pole and remove the footsteps 
in the snow to create a more authentic looking shot.


Plate Glass Negative Restoration

This original glass plate negative had been shattered at some point in time.  I first made a contact print from the negative 
in the darkroom and scanned that print into the computer at high resolution.  Using an imaging program I was able to 
paint out the cracks, readjust tones & contrast and recreate this very old photo.
