Customizing
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of what we do is customizing or repairing your photos. It makes us proud and happy that we can recover or fix your memories.
Imagine a great photo you have that you would like to hang on your wall as a painting
or how about a photo of your new car or home you want to put on a Greeting Card to send your friends.
Colorizing Changing B / W into Color
Here is a fun project on colorizing black and white photos.
I use Photo Shop Elements and Photoshop for all of my photo editing. Paying close attention to detail, I select each and every element to add color. This takes a quite amount of time, but the end result is a big “wow”! The baby picture was my first attempt and the hardest part was legs and shoes. |

Not bad I thought, so I took my skill to a higher level.
Colorized an old family bridal photo.
First it was scanned then converted to black and white. Then the fun begins. Then I selected the skin and colorized that segment, then went on selecting all parts of the Bride herself. Pretty much as described above. Then the entire bouquet of flowers had to basically be recreated, petal by petal until all the intricate parts of the flowers was complete.
Once happy with the full bride colorization, I added color to the background. Here are the results.

Two into One
This was a challenge to do customizing.
Here I took two very different pictures, Left and Center, and combined them into one pretty neat picture. Then I aged the photo a little and done. |

Restoration
Customizing this picture was very time consuming. The photo is an old, old family portrait. Part of the original is to the left. The center example has been clean up with scratches removed and the one to the right is shown in black and white.
Scratches and tears were smoothed out as well as rebuilding missing parts pixel by pixel. Doing a project like this one is perhaps the most time intensive part of what I do. |
