Photo Restoration - Why do i need a Photo Restoration ??

“Oh gee, I guess id better get this restored its looking tatty” – No, no, no! Its way more important than that. Photo Restorations are essential, they may seem trivial at the time, but you are preserving an important part of family history, your family will have to continue on the memory for their family. If left un-restored the negative or print could end up just that, un restorable and future generations wont have that vital visual link to their past. So even if its a simple retouch of a face or torn up, faded photo that needs a complete cleanse and restore dont leave it, act now!

The first thing to do is to protect the image with acid free tissue or paper to prevent any further damage by the immediate environment, then get it restored, but don’t just get one print get two. The reason behind this isn’t always obvious. If you give a copy of your newly restored photo to another family member then its more likely you precious memories will survive for generations to come as you are not the sole owner. Far too often all the family heirlooms are kept in one place and should the worst happens then all is lost. The sensible choice has to be two copies.

Finally get a digital copy too. It’s all very well getting the prints done but if you get a CD/DVD with your images on then you can keep a digital archive. Don’t just leave them on a CD though, if you upgrade your PC make sure you copy the CD/DVD to the very latest of backup storage. First it was floppy disk, then CD, then DVD and we are already into BlueRay and who knows what’s coming. Just make sure it’s on the latest media, in this fast paced world you never know when your storage will become obsolete. Finally if you have one why not upload it to an on-line photo-share or online storage space, you can then share it with the world if you want and let you relatives know its there. Who knows maybe they will get the bug and take the plunge to get their old images restored too?

So simply

1. Protect what’s left

2. Get it restored

3. Get Two copies

4. Take a copy to CD rom

5. Share/store the photos on line

Ok so that’s my advice, so if your from the Hampshire area or surrounds in the UK where better to your Photo Restorations done than at http://www.image-restore.co.uk
