Old colour photographs often fade or turn orange/yellow with age. We correct colour balance and restore natural, lifelike tones.
A real Photo Restoration Services example — drag to compare.
About This Service
Colour prints from the 1960s to 1990s commonly shift towards orange, red or yellow as their dyes fade with age and light exposure. Using careful colour correction in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, Merv restores natural skin tones and lifelike colour balance throughout the image, without the flat, artificial look that automated filters can produce.
As with every restoration, this work is completed entirely by hand by Merv Spencer using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom — never AI.
