Photo Restoration
updated: May 04, 2011, 11:10 AM

I'm looking for someone in town who does old photo restoration. I have a picture of my uncle with handwritten text on the back and the edges of the photo are fraying and starting to disintegrate, so I need someone who can help me stop the photo from falling apart further without compromising the handwritten text. Thanks!

I don't know about restoration, but if you don't find someone then take it to Samy's or Color Services. They can scan it, retouch it and print a great looking copy.

“Photographs,” says digital artist Abigail Migala, “are a connection to your past.” A 20-year master at retouching and restoring in the traditional way—
with brushes, dyes and a microscope—Migala can make a stunning digital copy of your family photo, recreated in its original condition (or as changed as you want). Whether it’s faded or torn, it’ll come out just the way you want it, with personalized attention. $1 per minute (15-minute minimum). You’d be amazed at what she can do in a quarter-hour; restoreyouroldphotos@cox.net.

You cannot do better than Kevin L. Anderson in SB. See some of his photo restoration work at his website: dragonscanvas.com. His contact information is on the site. Very reasonable.
