Photo Restoration
Experts with a combined skill set of 60+yrs.
Here at Coast Photo, we are constantly challenged with difficult Photo Restorations to repair.
The work can take anywhere from 1 to 10 hours depending on the image and the level of detail that is required. Piecing together the details of a photograph in ruins is what we do best.
No matter what’s wrong with your photo, we’ve usually seen it before. And we’ve fixed it: We can restore glass negatives, all historic images (even war images), large format negatives oval prints, photos stuck to glass, just about anything!
Using our Photo Restoration skills we can fix:
- Fading & water damage
- Creases & rips
- Photos stuck to the glass
- Pen marks
- Age discolouration (Gotta love that vibrant red 70s paper!)
- People missing from the shot/head swapping
- People you need removed from the shot
- Background removal/replacement/alteration/blurring
- Object removal
- Dust spots
- Direct sunlight damage
- Coffee stains
- Mold growth
- Photo mishandling
- Gradual degradation over time
- Colour & contrast

- Black & white yellowing
Images are scanned to create high resolution digital files, which are then worked on with advanced image editing software.
Initial steps involve adjusting contrast, correcting color casts, boosting saturation, straightening and cropping.
Then, we move on to advanced photo repair and restoration; Removing dust spots, correcting tears and surface damage, and repairing colors, stains and areas of severe damage.
While technology provides the tools, the best photo repair and restoration is an artistic endeavor involving aesthetic judgment.
