Faded photo
Jan 6, 2022 11:42:18 #
We have a small wallet size photo of my wife and her Dad that is quite faded. Does anyone know of a lab that can possibly restore it?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated...Neil in Atlanta GA

If you can take a good photo of it and post a downloadable version here, someone, or several expert someones, will probably take a shot at fixing it for you.

Would the same concept work for "transparency slides" and negatives?
Good reason to keep the original.

Scanned slides can often be adjusted. Easier and safer to sent a scanned image than the original.

A posted would be very helpful picture.
B&W photos often fade to yellow or brown. In this case using a blue filter or selecting the blue and sometimes a bit of the green channel can restore to nearly the original.
Color photos are a bit more difficult as restoration requires adjustment of colors. Paintshop pro has photo restore function that works rather well but may require some tweaking later.

There are those here, and I surely am not one of them, that are experts in colorizing old photos and black and white photos. This process would restore your worn and faded photo.

I usually photograph this small image and then enlarge in Topaz Gigapixel. After that, post-process it in LR. If it needs sharpening, I run it through Topaz Sharpen.

If you have a scanner, do a hi-res scan and post here. Be sure to check "store original" when attaching the photo. You will be amazed at how many people here will help you.

Many scanners have software that can be used to adjust the photo. If you have such a scanner, play with the scan settings. You may be able to raise the black point to counteract fading.
