PHOTO RESTORATION
Bring Old Photographs Back To Life
Old photographs can fade, tear, scratch and lose detail over time. Neil Pengelly Studios carefully restores damaged or ageing photographs, preserving the character of the original while bringing it back to life.
Some Photographs Are Worth Saving
A photograph might be the only surviving image of a family member, a childhood memory, a wedding, a military service or a moment that can never be recreated.
Restoration isn’t about making an old photograph look new. It’s about giving that memory the best chance of being enjoyed again.
WHAT CAN WE RESTORE?
From subtle improvements to more involved Photoshop work, every image is treated individually. Tell us what you’d like changed and we’ll let you know what’s possible before any work begins.
SCRATCHES & DAMAGE
Repair any scratches, tears, creases, marks and other physical damage captured in or on the original photographs.
FADED & DISCOLOURED
Restore contrast, improve faded tones and carefully rebalance colour where photographs have deteriorated over time.
MISSING DETAIL
Where possible, reconstruct damaged or missing areas while keeping the restoration faithful to the original photograph.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Every restoration is different. The condition of the original photograph determines what can realistically be recovered.
DAMAGED AND SCRATCHED ORIGINAL
Digitally remove marks, scratches and replace damage, all without the help of AI.
HOW IT WORKS
From subtle improvements to more involved Photoshop work, every image is treated individually. Tell us what you’d like changed and we’ll let you know what’s possible before any work begins.
SEND YOUR PHOTO
Send us a high-resolution scan or photograph of the original and tell us what you’d like restored.
WE ASSESS IT
Neil will examine the damage and let you know what’s realistically possible before any work begins..
WE RESTORE
The photograph is carefully restored in Photoshop, working from the original wherever possible.
YOU APPROVE
You’ll receive the completed restoration to review before the project is considered complete.
No surprises. No automated fixes. Just careful, bespoke Photoshop work.
EVERY RESTORATION IS DIFFERENT!
A simple restoration may involve minor damage and colour correction. More extensive work can involve rebuilding damaged areas, reconstructing missing detail and carefully restoring the photograph piece by piece.
Every photograph is assessed individually before we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
