Digitally Restored Art

To restore the originals of these types of paintings will cost a fortune. Ask yourself why, unless it is a historical personality, it is just not worth it.  For the purpose of passing it on to the next generation, most people are satisfied to scan the original and have it restored then downsized to accommodate scrapbooks or standard picture frames.  Making copies of large paintings can be costly so by reducing them you can make many copies for a lot less.

Most paintings are large and our clients want to reduce them to display modestly or include them in a scrapbook and share with relatives.

 

Circa 1900. Special effect, removed grandmas' shoulder and enhance.

 

 

Convex Photographs

One frequently asked question is, "can you scan convex photos?" Yes we can and here's the proof. The results will be flat.  

In this original portrait the face is not visible.  Even though this person was young in the original we were able to use his features from the small photo of him, when he was older. at the bottom left corner.

Convex types of photograph were mounted on stiff convex board, painted and framed with the convex glass. A common size is 16x20, circa 1900.  If for whatever reason they are removed from their original convex frames, they will usually break in half under their own weight.  The board becomes dry and snaps like a wafer.  So if you have one out of the frame you should find a frame for it as soon as possible. 
 Pencil Drawings

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a pencil drawing on soft paper that was scuffed up.
