Photo Restoration/Retouch
Photographs are a great way to retain those special
memories; wedding, anniversary, birth, family
or friends reunion. Sometimes however, those precious memories are
damaged or degrade over time. With the changing face of technology,
damaged or faded images can also be brought back to life with careful
digital image retouching, restoration and repair.
The main elements of photo restoration and photo touchup include the
following:

With photo retouching, one can enhance old or new photographs by
removing unwanted elements from the background and adding vibrant colors
to the background.
3. Photo Refinement
4. Removal of Unwanted People or Objects:
Unwanted people or elements can be removed from the background or
foreground.
5. Photo Manipulation:
It is the process of manipulating the photograph either by adding or
removing elements, people or objects.
