Can you extract a subject from a group photo?

The subject needs to be fully visible as it will be moved in the artwork exactly as he is. It is not possible to make visible the hidden parts. In some cases, the hidden parts can be reconstructed however this will turn your artwork into a custom-request for which extra fees may apply depending on the difficulty.

Photo Restoration

What is photo restoration?

Photo restoration is the process of making an old photo new again. Old photos suffer from cracking, tears and mould. They can fade and discolour and become mottled. Physical damage can cause a photo to look old and tattered such as pinholes or missing pieces. Water damage can cause the colours to run and stains ruin your photos. Photo restoration can remove all that damage and make an old photo new again.

How is photo restoration done?

The process normally starts with a digital image. This is normally a scan of the photo created on a pofessional scanner. The digital image is transferred to a computer. Once the digital image is on the computer it can be manipulated and retouched using an image editor such as Photoshop. This allows the image to be digitally repaired.

Why is photo restoration done?

Photos age and fall apart. When we have no images left of our past then our memories fade of these past events too. Restoring photos is vital if we want to preserve these memories for the future. It is not just our memories and photos that need to be saved. Historical photos, clubs, societies, organisations and businesses all have photos from the past. It is their history and memories and moments that photo restoration is there to save!

Can I restore a physical photo?

We do not work with physical photos. Please have it professionally scanned in high resolution or take a good photo of it with a modern photo camera and send it to us.

Can you colorize a photo?

Yes. PixelsPhotoArt is known for producing some of the best photo-realistic colorization work on the Web. The cost for this type of work varies depending on the amount of detail and complexity in the photo. Check out our photo colorizing service for more details and examples of our work.

Can you restore a film negative?

PixelsPhotoArt is a digital photo restoration agency, so we are only able to fix digital replicas of your original images. If your print or negative is in very bad shape, you may want to engage the services of a professional conservationist.

My photo is stuck to glass can you fix that?

Yes, we can help! Please use Google PhotoScan App and take a few photos of your photo that is stuck to glass without flash, in natural light conditions.

How do I scan an image that is too big for my scanner?

Please use Google PhotoScan App to digitalize large photos. Do not use flash and take the photo in natural light conditions.

I am not sure how to scan, do you have a guide?

Sure. The best scan means the best results for your restore! See my scanning guide which should answer all of your questions. If you want to jump straight into scanning the try my 7-step guide to scanning

Can I use my mobile camera instead of a scanner?

It is always best to scan your photo, but if you must use a phone to photograph your image it must be photographed correctly without flash, reflections, distortions, shadows and in sharp focus.

Can you fix over-exposed or under-exposed photos?

In many cases, photos that are under-exposed (too dark) or over-exposed (too light) can be fixed. However, in severe cases, there might not be enough detail or colour density to restore the image back to normal levels, making it difficult or impossible to achieve an acceptable result.

Print Product Care

Can I use my own frames?

We strongly recommend to purchase the frame after the print arrives. If you want us to create your artwork with your size specifications, please order your artwork source file

How should I take care of my print?

For posters and framed posters:

  • avoid direct sun exposure
  • avoid touching the paper
  • avoid humid areas
  • do not hang in hot areas (fireplace, bathroom)
  • avoid water contact.
For canvas:
  • do not hang it in direct sunlight. It has a reflective coating which will dry out.
  • it's water rezistent but if not dried properly, mold can build up.
