We don't just restore black and white pictures
The pictures on the left in many cases look a lot better than the originals we received. This is because the image is partially restored by the scanning process itself. Some of these pictures were hardly visible to the naked eye in the original.
We only restore pictures which are out of copyright or where the copyright holder cannot supply a new print. It will always be a cheaper and better option to have the original photographer supply a new print if it is at all possible.
The cost of restoring an image is separate from that of printing it. This allows you to have your restored picture printed at different sizes (or on to different materials). Click below to check our printing prices.
If you would like your image greatly enlarged (e.g. for framing), please see our image transformation section
