Color Restoration Examples
We color correct and restore your images as part of the 29¢ per slide
deal. We try our best to get them back to the original colors and
vibrancy. Scroll down to see some before and after samples of what we
can do with your images:
Below is a scan before we put it into editing. We already removed the dust so you can concentrate just on the colors.
It has not degraded too bad in the last 50 years.

Below is the after example. We crop the corners carefully trying not to loose any valuable detail or information in the image.
It gives it a crisp clean edge. We also put the color back in and it is restored how it was.
Don't see a big difference? That's because there is not much of a difference. We pay attention to even the little details and improvements on every image. When it is your image, the little things matter.

Removing Red/Magenta from Images
A common problem we have seen are slides that have turned red or magenta over the years. This effect can be caused with age, the location the slides were stored, how the slides were originally processed and a few other factors. We have discovered a way to restore these images and bring them back closer to their original colors. Since there are so many factors that can cause the "red problem", restoration results will vary. We edit each one individually and try several things before deciding which route to take for restoration.
To see examples of our work, watch the slide show and see the images below.

Look at the sample below. This 50+ year old slide. Many slides are
starting to fade and are loosing their green and blue colors while
retaining most of the reds. You can see the physical slide is red in
color if you hold it up to the light. If there are enough green and blue
colors left in the physical slide itself, we are able to pull those
colors up and tone down the reds making it look better. Here is an
example of a slide with little green and blue colors and most if not all
of its red colors left:
And here is the slide after cropping and color restoration. Its not
perfect and probably does not look like the original image. That's
because allot of those colors are just gone. But as you can see, by
bringing forward the blue and green colors the image had left, it makes a
big difference and looks dramatically better:
