We use professional high speed scanning equipment to obtain as good an
electronic image as possible. We select from within our large
library of image manipulation software (including industry standard Adobe
Photoshop) to restore and modify photographs, 35 mm
slides, negatives and transparencies.
A high resolution scan of a typical photograph
from the turn of the 20th century. Faded over time, and typically sepia
toned, the
integrity of the photograph has been compromised through years of
handling. The photograph suffers variously from Scotch tape stains,
small water stains, numerous cracks and torn edges. The subject's
signature is partly faded.
A grayscale image of the
same photograph after various
manipulations using PhotoShop. The intensity levels for high-
lights,
midtones and shadows have been adjusted, cracks and torn edges
repaired. Additionally, the signature has been removed. The
image is now suitable for printing to photo grade gloss or matt finished
paper. The image size can be maintained, reduced or
expanded.
A tinted version of the photograph might
appeal. All colors are muted to keep the feel of an older
photograph. Suitable for inclusion in a Createc electronic image album, or
stored as-is on disk or CD, the
image has been conservatively framed. Createc's software library includes a variety
of frame styles that can be applied to any image.
Treading ever so lightly so as not to corrupt
the veracity of the original figure, the image has been cropped, a more visually interesting background has
been faded, and the whole enclosed within a more imposing frame. Anything
is possible...
