Gentian Trail Gallery

We can scan your old photos, remove scratches, spots, cracks, color correct, reduce highlights or bring detail out of shadows, then print and frame the new version.

The example below shows the scanned version of a print of my father-in-law with the repaired version in a walnut frame. Click for a larger view.

In this example , the sky in the original is completely "blown out" (white). I removed dust spots and cracks, lowered the highlights and brought out some detail, then made the sky look more interesting.

Many factors will determine your results: size of your original print, color or black and white, type and amount of damages, etc. If you are not happy with the result you pay nothing. Your originals will be returned unharmed.

We charge $25.00 per hour for this service with a one hour minimum. Most photos can be scanned and repaired with an hour's work. If you have multiple prints you'll be charged the hourly rate to complete them all.

You will receive a digital version and one 4" x 6" print when the work is complete. Other print sizes up to 13" x 19" available, as well, for an additional charge. We can also provide matting and framing in a custom made frame.

Small originals will not always print well in larger sizes. Once restoration work is complete we will determine a recommended maximum print size for your "new" old photographs.
