We all have old photographs that we treasure, whether old family photographs passed on from previous generations or family photograph albums.
Unfortunately, photographs do not age well and, over time, their quality starts to deteriorate. Because photos are printed on paper, handling, light, moisture, dust, and scratches often affect them. Most photo papers and inks used until recently have not been of archive quality and, as a result, many photographs show signs of fading and colour shifts after only a few years. Poor storage, such as keeping photos in attics or basements, or allowing photos to be exposed to sunlight, contribute to the poor condition of most of our photo collections.
Before & After!
It is worth taking the time to check your important photographs for signs of deterioration before they are beyond recovery. Once restored, your photos can be copied to a CD or a DVD for long-term storage and safekeeping and you needn’t worry about further damage because digital images do not change. You can use these digital images to make prints on archive paper and they will last over 100 years in an album with no signs of degradation. Additional prints can be made at any time in the future, should disaster strike. Once restored, your photographs can be enlarged and framed and you will be able to share the images with other family members and friends. A copy of the family album or a framed print also makes a great present.
Restoration techniques can remove spots, stains, marks and tears, improve contrast, brightness and colour balance and enhance detail, focus and sharpness. It is also possible to combine photographs, invisibly delete items or people from photographs and to use different effects such as adding colour to black and white photographs.
So don’t delay – check out the condition of your important photographs now and make sure that you will never lose them.
