If you have a collection of old photographs, you’ve probably noticed that they aren’t looking as sharp as they did a couple of decades ago.
The truth is, old photographs are quite susceptible to degradation and are prone to fade over time. Printed photographs can also be further damaged by water, fire, ripping, tears, stains and more.
WHAT IS PHOTO RESTORATION?
Photo restoration is the process of using digital restoration tools to create digital versions of the images while also improving their quality and repairing damage.
Although photo restoration has existed for a long time, it has recently become much more accessible to the general public – with the development of photo editing tools like Adobe Photoshop as well as consumer-grade scanners, regular people can now try their hand at restoring photographs and returning them to their original condition.
However, even though most people can afford the equipment and tools necessary for photo restoration, merely having them does not guarantee success.
In fact, learning how to use the software, as well as how to restore damaged or deteriorated photographs, is a long and complicated process that can require years of practice to truly master.
