Repairs
We offer a digital processing service for your images via the use of Photoshop and similar digital editing software.

If requested as part of our photo or film scanning service, we have the facility to use a technology called Digital ICE, which in many cases can remove dust, dirt and scratches from both reflective (photos) and transparent (slides and negatives) media during the scanning process. It can even help to restore faded images. However, as with many technologies, it is not guaranteed to work with all types of media or in all situations. But we don't have to rely entirely on this method.

In circumstances where Digital ICE fails to work or falls short of expectation (possibly where damage is too severe or inconveniently positioned as to cause loss of important detail), manual processing is usually the next step, where the digital artist takes over from the machine and does their best to manipulate the image to improve it. Where damage is quite extensive this can be a lengthy process just for one image and with the best will in the world, it might not be possible to provide a full restoration.

Creativity
Processing does not need to be limited to repairing images. We can get creative too. For example, create a montage out of several images, convert colour to black & white or sepia. Add colour to black & white originals (can take some time depending upon effect required), merge images together, remove or replace parts of an image, lighting effects, posterize, zoom, sketch, crop, the list goes on (please visit the gallery for some examples of what can be done).
