Toddlers With Poster Paint?

Nov. 24, 2008 - PRLog -- Fire, flood, dust damage or even a toddler armed with mums makeup bag are all disasters waiting to happen, but if a disaster does strike, it need not mean that your most treasured photographs are destined for the dustbin in a blur of poster paint or even worse waterproof mascara!

Photo restoration is an innovative way to ensure that your memories are kept firmly in the present and to make sure that your family history is preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Scanning Coordinator at Slidescan4u, Marie Holder, said, “Photo restoration is becoming increasingly popular and it means that when photos begin to fade due to poor storage, cracks begin to appear or even when sections of the photo have been damaged, we can 99.9 per-cent of the time restore them back to their former glory.”

The rigorous process, involves zooming in on the section requiring work and using a highly sophisticated programme, the restoration coordinators clone the original colours and shapes to cover any visible cracks or damage.

Mrs Holder added, “The process can be extremely complex, the worst errors to amend are those on people’s faces as the colours have to be matched exactly, but it can be done and customers are forever telling us that the results are phenomenal.

“I remember one story that really sticks in my mind, which makes the job I do all the more worthwhile.  A woman rang Slidescan4u about photo restoration on a tiny photograph she had of her relative who had recently passed away.  The photo had been stored in such a way that it had cellotape stuck to it, which had resulted in some serious fading.  We worked our magic and managed to not just remove the fading, but to increase the size of the image for her without losing any of the quality – as you can imagine she was thrilled.”

The comprehensive service is offered online at www.slidescan4u.co.uk rivalling many other photo restoration companies in offering their customers a very hands on approach, all the way through the process, to make sure that their individual needs are met.  What’s more, their service costs just £4 per photo restored unlike some of their competitors who charge up to £30 per photo.

Mrs Holder added, “Photo restoration is not the only service we are able to provide our customers with.  We also offer the restoration of slides and negatives and we have found that it is a very popular gift idea.   We have had customers purchasing our service as a Christmas present for a loved one, or even as an anniversary present.  Elderly couples in particular may find that their wedding photos need some attention and this would make a lovely heart-felt gift.”
