Our Photo Restoration Process
Digital photograph restoration is the practice of restoring the appearance of a digital copy of a physical photograph which has been damaged by natural, man-made, or environmental causes or simply affected by age or neglect.
We use a variety of image editing techniques to remove visible damage and aging effects from digital copies of physical photographs.
Raster graphics editors are typically used to repair the appearance of the digital images and add to the digital copy of the photo where pieces of the physical photograph are torn or missing. Evidence of dirt, scratches, and other signs of photographic age are removed from the digital image manually, by painting over them meticulously.
Unwanted colour casts are removed, and the image’s contrast or sharpening may be altered in an attempt to restore some of the contrast range or detail that is believed to be in the original physical image.
In addition image processing techniques such as image enhancement and image restoration are also applicable for the purpose of digital photograph restoration.
Reprographics: the process of reproducing & reprinting artistic material using digital means.
Our Reprographics Process
Photographs or original artworks such as drawings and paintings are scanned at a high resolution to capture as much detail as possible.
If desired, changes can be made with digital editing software. Unlike traditional printing methods, these digital files can be manipulated. Colour corrections can be made, imperfections can be eliminated, works can be resized. Colour images can be turned to black and white or sepia. The possibilities are almost endless.
Now these digital images can be made into giclée prints. Giclée prints are high-quality inkjet prints produced with archival inks. You may choose to print a photograph onto stretched canvas, watercolour paper or a heavyweight, high-quality paper. Giclée printing offers countless creative options but also gives the advantage of “printing on demand”. Instead of a substantial investment in a large number of prints at one time, giclée printing allows the artist to print only as many prints as needed at any given time.
Our printing department offers scanning, giclée printing, large and small format printing, canvas printing, photo and document touching and restoration. All our services are done on-site, expeditiously and always with quality in mind. We take the time to carefully evaluate each item to be printed and adjustments are made accordingly so your prints always look their best.
