Photo Preservation, Restoration and Enhancement Techniques

Document Preservation Strategies

Scanning and preservation – Photos may be scanned and preserved on compact disks. These are easily shared with family members and so inexpensive everyone can own a copy.

Enhancement - Once photographs are scanned, they may be enhanced electronically. Faded photos can be made bright again, focus can be sharpened, and details restored. - example

Restoration – In most cases scratches and wrinkles can be removed from damaged photographs. Small missing parts can often be reconstructed and many times the photograph may be almost as good as new. Remember that each damaged photograph is different and must be considered on an individual basis.
Clutter can be removed from on otherwise good photo. In many cases distracting backgrounds can also be removed. - example

Photograph Reconstruction – This is possibly one of the most interesting aspects of digital photograph work. If you lack a portrait of your great-grandfather, but have a picture of him in a small group, his image may be isolated, copied and reconstructed into a portrait you can proudly hang on your wall. - example
