Some Past Photo Restorations
1. Welcome to The Photo Trunk’s Brief slideshow of past Photo Restorations
2. This damaged photo of my Mother’s 1 st Communion was a challenge for even the most accomplished restoration artist. Since this was a personal project, I stopped the restoration at the point you see below, but, continue to adjust it as a personal hobby.
3. This restoration was challenging in that the woman’s face was nearly undetectable. With the help of channels, levels, and curves I was able to reconstruct her face and hair. Another challenge was re-creating the border of the photograph which was typical for that era of photography.
4. This photo of my father was suffering from dust etching and fading. To begin with, I duplicated the background and using my right and left arrow keys, moved the under-layer 2 clicks to the right and down. On the upper layer, I masked out the damaged areas. Adjusted levels and curves from there.
5. This restoration was addressing peeling, fading and some blue pen marks on the upper right area of the tile. Using my arsenal of favorite tools, clone, heal, patch, I was able to reconstruct the more severe areas. From there, I adjusted the levels and saturation and cleaned up the mold around the tub caulking…. Wish cleaning my shower was this easy!
6. Relaxing in her favorite sunny corner and chair, Granma’s smile was nearly ruined from the taped up tear, some Polaroid streaking and mold.
7. Here’s another example of peeling, stains and fading. I used the same techniques to restore this photo as the first two in this slideshow.
8. This photo from the 60’s of a creek near my Grandparents cottage was terribly faded. To some people’s liking, I may have saturated the restoration too much, but, since “I” was the client, I brought it back to the saturation that I liked, which was reminiscent of the intense color I remember while sitting on the bank that day.
9. Grandpa & Grandma’s engagement photo (and someone’s little child). The photo was badly silvered. For the background, I chose a photo of cherry blossoms to replicate the foliage background typical in photos of the day.
10. When I took this photo 30+ years ago, I used my Canon AE1 with slide film and forget my exact f-stop setting. My slides are really in bad shape, but, I brought this one back to a respectable facsimile of the original.
11. My friend’s Great Grandfather in Ireland was a bit of a different challenge. Again, I used channels, levels, curves, …. And honestly forget every tool that I used to achieve the final result.
12. My brother’s first car was terribly discolored; this was a bit of a pain to bring back to true colors. I also removed the ½ body from the right of the original photo.
13. Here’s another of my friend, Bill’s, Irish ancestors. The desk and “stove” in the background were challenging to recreate their exact shapes. I chose to leave them blurred because I liked the effect, and so did Bill.
14. One more Irishman here. I addressed the fading, the deterioration in the lower portion of the photo and added a vignette-type background.
15. Bob, on his way out the door… Creasing was the major issue of this photo. After fixing that, I decided to add some wood grain to the door, just for fun.
