Simmons Studios also offers professional photo restoration and retouching. This is done totally in the digital realm and the finished product is saved onto a CD-R at 300 dpi.

Below are before/after shots of a photograph I was given to restore. This is an extreme case of damage and it could have easily gone into the trash but I restored it in about six hours. I also slightly enhanced the overall clarity.

There is no single button, filter or setting anyone can use to automatically do this type of restoration. You can't buy a plug-in for PhotoShop that can do this. It takes an understanding of the entire concept of how three-dimensional objects are represented in two-dimensional space, intuition - and a lot of work.

Here is one that was damaged by water and had lost much of it's color and clarity. The original was 11 x 14.

Here's another photo that needed moderate restoration. General water damage and lack of color were the main problems as well as some variation in color and value due to being stuck to the glass that was designed to protect it.

Here are before/after pics of this one.

This next one was torn, warped, wrinkled, burned and needed more contrast. It was a poster-sized print measuring 18" x 24". Here are the before/after shots.

Photo manipulations, adding color to black and white images and light retouching are also available.

Here's a final example of adding color to a black and white image. This image was colorized to have a slight reddish hue but I removed the color and added more realistic color back in. I only did the face, hair, ribbon and background and you can see what a big difference there is between monochrome/black and white and the color version.

Email your photo for a free estimate! Be sure the image is fairly large (up to 800 pixels in width or height is fine) and explain exactly what you would like done.
