Here is an old picture repaired, the damage on the photo removed carefully to restore the image to it's former glory. This old photograph had many scratches and small tears, and was faded at the bottom and badly at the top requiring either cropping or photo rebuilding. This photo was given a full professional repair and restoration, which allows even a photo as badly damaged as this to be enlarged, as all of the tiny tears were also removed from the image. Even though the original damaged photograph was only a few inches wide, the restored picture enlarged well, and a repaired photo reprint at 8" x 11" was provided.
