<h2>ABOUT OUR RESTORATION SERVICES</h2>
Two smiling aviation pioneers stand in front of an airplane made of canvas and wood, posing for a handshake with a local mayor.

<h2>HIGH RESOLUTION SCANNING</h2>
Producing a high quality scan is the first and one of the most important steps in photo restoration. <strong>Unlike many discount photo restoration services</strong> that use low quality scanners or require the clients to scan photographs themselves in hope that later whatever imperfections of the scan, low resolution or color changes can be fixes in Photoshop, <strong>Preserve Your Past™</strong><em> utilizes the most current high-end scanners available</em>, to ensure capture of even the smallest details or the most minute color variations of the original that are needed for high quality photo restoration and art replication.
<p><img src="site_img/samples_scanner.jpg" width="220" height="148" align="left">Our <a href="http://graphics1.kodak.com/global/product/scanners/professional_scanners/iqsmart_3/default.htm" target="_top">Kodak Creo IQSMART3 scanner</a> represents the very best in digital scanning technology. With <strong>top resolution of 10,0000 dpi</strong> at <strong>16bit color output</strong>, <strong> Kodak Creo IQSMART3</strong> scanner<em> <strong>is equaling the output of a drum scan</strong></em> <em>but without the potential harm from bending a fragile original or exposing it to any additional stresses</em>.
<p>If necessary, all scans created by <strong>Preserve Your Past</strong> are are <em><strong>manually color corrected</strong></em> and the appearance of minor dust and scratch marks is carefully reduced without lowering sharpness or quality of a scanned image.

<h2>DIGITAL ARCHIVING SERVICES</h2>
At least ones in a lifetime each of us lost something valuable or precious. A favorite book or CD, a pair of gloves or even a wallet with all the family pictures and company credit cards in it. No matter how upsetting such losses could be and how difficult it may have been to replace those things, they could never compare to a lose of legacy and heritage that is passed from generation to generation in form of old photographs, faded letters and folded documents.
<p><img src="site_samples/samples_digital_photo_archiving.jpg" width="170" height="170" border="0" align="right"><strong>Preserve Your Past™</strong> helps to bring those photographs and documents back to life and makes it possible to share them and to protect them for future generations.
<p>Use of <a href="photo_scanning_slide_scanning_f.html" target="_parent">high quality scanning equipment </a> and cataloging software helps to sort, organize and back-up archives of photographs, documents and visual records. High quality scans allow for replication of particularly important pieces of visual history that can be displayed while the originals are kept safe from possible wear or damages.

<h2>PHOTO COLORIZATION, OIL TINTING and ANTIQUATION </h2>
Applying color to black and white photographs adds a wonderful touch to vintage and modern photographs alike. Originally a very difficult and costly process involving application of oil paint and markers onto the original photograph, it has now become more affordable with the advances of digital photo retouching and allows a variety of colors and shades to be applied onto a digital image with extreme precision and without any possibility of damage to the original.
<p><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_04.html')"><img src="site_samples/04_milan_rastislav_stefanik.jpg" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a>Tinting a black and white photo in sepia or brown tones can give the photograph a vintage effect that will compliment its historical time period. When we restore your photo we try to retain its authenticity by matching the original tones while preserving heirloom-like vintage appeal.
<p><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_33.html')"><img src="site_samples/33_photo_old_rhinebeck_aerodrome.jpg" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="left"></a>Quite often <strong>Preserve Your Past™</strong> is asked to add a vintage look to a contemporary photograph. Photo Antiquation is the process turning modern photographs into antique looking images via methods of digital distress. The process of antiquation includes the addition of tinting, fading and vignette, creation of creases, scratch marks, dust marks and rough edges and the use of specialty papers of a vintage style on our archival printers.
<p>Such photographs can be easily mistaken for true antiques and make wonderful special occasion gifts. They can also serve as display copies whenever the originals have to be protected due to their value or fragility.

<h2>RESTORATION OF OLD POLAROID PHOTOGRAPH</h2>
<p><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_67.html')"><img src="site_samples/67_restoration_polaroid.jpg" alt="Restoration of old Polaroid" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a>With time many Polaroid pictures become discolored, cracked and curled. Scratches and tears may result in separation of layers that cause further damage to the image. Such Polaroid pictures have to be restored with extreme care.
<p>Since attempting to scan a photograph in such state of distress may result in poor quality of scan and in worst case further damage and even destruction of a photograph, first step in restoration has to be humidification and flattening of the photograph. By slowly introducing humidity into the layers of a photograph it can be uncurled and made pliable ones again. Quite often the process of humidification and flattening has to be repeated many times before a photograph becomes reasonably flat.
<p> Ones a photographed is flattened and dried it has to be<a href="photo_scanning_slide_scanning.html" target="_top"> scanned at high resolution</a> to produce a digital file suitable for restoration.
<p>After the file is created it is retouched to remove any signs of damages, such as scratches of the photo emulsion, tears and rips. Color correction is applied to restore the original tones of a photograph.
After that the final image can be printed on variety of available glossy photo papers. The most recommended is <a href="http://www.lexjet.com" target="_blank">LexJet Sunset Photo Gloss paper</a> that offers excellent ink retention characteristics and longevity with high gloss finish that resembles the original Polaroid prints.
<h2>RESTORATION OF CIVIL WAR UNION ARMY DISCARGE</h2>
<p><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_65.html')"><img src="site_samples/66_restoration_civil_war_document.jpg" alt="Restoration of Civil War Union Army Discharge" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="left"></a>The rare Civil War Union Army Discharge document was very faded with much of the text written in iron gall ink lost or made unreadable by creases and stains. What made this document so unique was the list of battles and skirmishes that the soldier fought in, written on the back of the document. The document was carefully cleaned from accumulated dirt and degree. A high quality document replica of the document was created by making of a high resolution scan of both sided followed by retouching and recreation of missing text. Giclee prints of the document were printed on fine art matte paper that matched the texture of the original and trimmed to follow the outlines of the original.
<p>I would just like to let you know how truly impressed I am with the outcome of the restoration services you provided. When I submitted my Civil War Discharge document I was nervous as this is a family treasure, thus very important to my family. Not only is the original restored and preserved magnificently, but the replication of this document is truly amazing. It mirrors and captures the look and feel of the original work. Without fail, it exceeded my expectations.
<p>Furthermore, you frequent updates and research of this document during the period you preformed the restoration process was far more than outstanding. It allowed me to relax while my family relic was in your trust and care.
<p>The work is simply beautiful and I know that it will be admired by friends and family for years to come. You have a customer for life!
<h2>RESTORATION OF WW2 NEWSPAPER</h2>
<p><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_66.html')"><img src="site_samples/65_restoration_ww2_newspaper.jpg" alt="Restoration of newspaper" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a>1942 <a href="http://thechronicleherald.ca" target="_blank">The Halifax Chronicle</a> newspaper describing an amazing story of WW2 rescue of Canadian merchant marine who survived three sinking of merchant ships torpedoed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarines" target="_blank">German submarines</a>.
<p>Restoration of the newspaper began with careful humidification and flattening of the pages. After humidification the newspaper was unfolded the surface of the paper was cleaned from accumulated debris. Numerous tears and missing areas were reinforced and patched with archival backing material. To prevent further deterioration the paper was deacidified to neutralize any harmful chemicals that were originally contained in the paper and those that accumulated on it over the years.
<p> High resolution scans of the pages were made using large format flatbed scanner and the produced digital images were retouched to remove the appearance of discoloration, rips, tears and other damages.

<h2>RESTORATION OF SPORTS MEMORIBILIA AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOGRAPH</h2>
<p>This heavily faded photo of 1963 New York Yankees baseball team, was owned by the former bat boy who was lucky enough to have the photo autographed by every player on the A.L. championship team. It is likely that the photograph was framed and exposed to sun damage over time, then rolled up and put away in a manner that resulted in cracking and damage of photo emulsion layer.

<h2>RESTORATION OF OLD DIPLOMA</h2>
<p>Torn, extremely dried, and wrapped into a tight roll, this document presented a real restoration nightmare. The first step in bringing this document back was reintroduction of humidity in to the paper in order to make it pliable enough to be unrolled.
<p>After the unrolling, the document was carefully flattened, cleaned and stabilized to prevent any further deterioration. The tears and the missing sections were filled and reinforced with pH neutral archival material. The document was then ready to be framed and displayed.

<h2>RESTORATION OF VELLUM DOCUMENT</h2>
<p>Many documents printed and written on parchment and vellum may become warped and shrunk if not properly stored and protected.
<p>This diploma dating to 1920 became damaged and infested with mold and mildew due to long exposure in area of high humidity. <a href="document_restoration.html" target="_top" title="restoration of diploma">Restoration of diploma </a>started started with careful cleaning of the surface and the document was treated to kill any spores and to reduce the appearance of mildew. It was also humidified to make the material pliable and then carefully flattened and dried to remove the warping. Up to 2 inches in dimension were gained back through this process.

<h2>RESTORATION OF CIVIL WAR MILLITARY SERVICE DISCHARGE CERTIFICATE</h2>
<p><a href="document_restoration.html" target="_top" title="restoration of Civil War document">Restoration of this Civil War document</a> presented a real challenge since it was not only heavily faded and discolored but in addition to regular teas that can be expected on such old document it two layers of paper tape were applied at different times to prevent the document from separation at the folds.
<p>The document was carefully cleaned and deacidified to prevent further deterioration and most of the tape was removed to reveal the text hidden underneath. Since the dirt that became imbedded at the folds of the documents could not be removed completely, a digital copy of the document was made and retouched to create a display copy that could be framed and showcased in place of the original.

<h2>PHOTO RESTORATION CLIENT TESTIMONIALS<img src="testimonials/thumb_11.jpg" title="antique phot portrait restoration" width="187" height="227" border="0" align="left"></h2>
<p>During the production of our latest documentary we came across a cache of old negatives that were integral to our film. Some of the negs were 35mm, others were antique glass plate originals; some were black and white, some were color... unfortunately all were heavily scratched and in sorry shape after years of ill care.
<p>Thankfully Mr. Wintermute and <strong>Preserve Your Past</strong> beautifully restored these priceless images to broadcast-quality and infinitely enriched our final piece. They are truly a first rate studio.

<p>Amazing!!! The photograph looks as if it was taken yesterday.<br>
I wish you also did boat restoration. See you on the bay.<br>

I just felt compelled to write to you and let you know what a great experience working with you and your company was.
<p>I have a Navy Commission letter signed by President Lincoln. It is on velum which from what I understand is a difficult thing to work with. Needless to say it had seen its better days. I purchased it in a broken frame and glass with a ton of wrinkles in it.
<p>I contacted several different companies, sent photos and my explaination of what I wished done. No one would touch it.<br>
I came to you and you were more than willing to work with me. I can't say enough of how pleased I am with your performance in this.
<p>It's not easy to trust someone you've never met with thousands of dollars worth of documents however you put me at ease and the final product was excellent. Thanks again.

<td><p class="textRedBold">How long does it take to have a photograph restored?
<p>In most cases it takes<em> between 5 to10 business days</em> to have a photograph restored. However, if a photograph is extremely damaged or if we are experiencing heavy workload, it may take a bit longer. It is particularly advisable that you bring in photographs to be restored well in advance of holidays such as Veterans Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day or Christmas.

<p>Most likely the photograph is displaying the signs of <em><a href="javascript:openView('samples/sample_08.html')">silver migration</a></em> or what is commonly referred in photo restoration as “<em>silver mirror</em>”.
<p>Silver migration is the process opposite of formation of patina or layer of oxidation on the surface of silver or bronze objects.
<p>If a photograph was not properly processed, with time, molecules of free silver begin to appear near the surface if the photograph creating a shiny layer. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done to remove this layer. Some photo restorers suggest that a light coating of Vaseline can reduce the appearance of silver migration, but usually such treatment can lead to long-term irreversible damage to the entire photograph.
<p>The better solution is to produce a high quality scan of the damaged photograph and to remove the damage by careful retouching. However this requires expert retouching skills and specialized scanning equipment, which fortunately <b>Preserve Your Past</b> does possess.
<p><b>Preserve Your Past</b> has successfully restored many such photographs including those that came from the vast collection of historical photographs of New York City belonging to history associations and private collectors..

<td><p class="textRedBold">Can you restore the original photograph instead of making a digital copy?
<p><b>Preserve Your Past</b><em> offers traditional photo retouching service on case-by-case basis.</em>
<p>If an original photograph is damaged only slightly, it may still be possible to reduce the appearance of scratch marks and other imperfections by careful application of retouching spot tones.
<p> <strong>The great misconception about photo restoration</strong> is that in the old times <em>the true photo restorers whose art is forever lost</em> were able to repair and restore an original photograph no matter how damaged it was.
<p> <em>Nothing could be further from the truth.</em>
<p> Though some damages such as scratches, minor blemishes or tears in the original photograph could and still can be retouched and repaired by a skilled restorer, anything more then that <em>required making of a copy of the original photograph</em>.
<p> The usual procedure was to photograph the original image onto a special copy film such as <a href="http://cool-palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/2002/1494.html" target="_blank">Kodak Professional Copy Film 4125</a> that was designed for retouching. After a copy was made the photo restorer would carefully retouch the negative removing all visible signs of damages and imperfections by applying special <a href="http://www.leadholder.com/lh-non-kodak.html" target="_blank">retouching tools and pencils</a>.
After the negative was retouched it would be printed on photo paper, this producing a restored duplicate of the original damaged photograph.
<p>Nowadays, instead of making a negative from the original photograph a digital file is created by scanning the photograph with a <a href="photo_scanning_slide_scanning.html" target="_top">high quality photo scanner</a>. After the digital file is retouched the restored image is printed on specially designed paper of higher quality and longevity then most of old fashion photo papers.

<td><p class="textRedBold">Can you enlarge a small photograph?
<p>Unless a photograph is very damaged or originally blurry or out of focus it can be enlarged. However, to preserve the details and the sharpness of the image it is advisable that enlargement should not exceed a certain size. Most passport size or wallet size photographs can be enlarger to 4x6 or 5x7 size and the photographs of those sizes can be enlarged to 8x10 or 11x14. A greater increase in size may result in loss of detail and excess appearance of film grain and texture of the original photograph.

<p>With careful photo retouching it is possible to remove a person from a photograph without making the image look artificially changed. It is also possible to remove the background on a photograph or change the lighting, making the faces covered by shadows to appear lighter. Preserve Your Past offers such services when a photograph is needed for private use only. No such photo retouching is done to alter the appearance of photographs of any historical significance or if such photo retouching may violate professional or moral values or code of conduct, such as changing the appearance of images for publication in newspapers, magazines or online publications.

<td><p class="textRedBold">How do I protect photographs and documents from fading?
<p>To prolong the life of your photographs or documents and to prevent any additional damage we advise that you always <em>store the original photographs in archival acid-free envelopes and boxes</em> that can be purchased from your local art or frame shop.
<p><em>Keep them away from any areas that may experience dramatic changes of temperature and humidity</em> such as garages, attics, basements or any areas near fireplaces or windows.
<p><em>Display the photographs or documents only in frames that are covered with UV protective glass.</em>
<p><em>Keep them away from exposure to direct sunlight, fluorescent light and drastic changes of temperature and humidity.</em>
<p>If your photographs or documents are mounted in frames, <em>do not use chemical cleaners or solvents on the protective glass or the frame</em>. Chemicals may penetrate the openings between the glass and the frame and cause additional damage to the photographs. Use only clean rags or paper towels with water to clean frames and glass.
<p>If frame or glass become damaged or you would like to replace them, do not do it yourself, take them to a professional framing shop, specifying the use of archival materials for mounting and framing.
