We Also Restore Precious Photos!
In the photo above (used with permission) the original photo had been damaged by water. We were able to repair the damaged area and clean up the entire picture.
Finally, at the request of the customer, one of the ladies in the picture was cut out of the original picture and made to appear as if she had posed separately for a picture. This required "creating" the parts that were not actually in view, and straightening the shirt buttons and torso (she was leaning into her sister in the original photograph). We also created new fabric folds and shadows, and created a new background to give the picture some added dimension, along with some other technical modifications.
We also transform small images into larger images.
In this photo, by Patrick Jonke, Jennifer Roberts (a graphic artist and co-owner of Legacy Fine Art Printers) is holding a print made from the original digital file (2x3@600dpi or 8x10@180dpi). Using the latest software and hardware technology we enlarged the original smaller image to 43x56@240dpi and printed it on a premium vinyl scrim. This required layering, blending, and other Photoshop manipulations to maintain the sharpness and minimize the pixelation that occurs when greatly enlarging images to extreme sizes--and in this particular case--it worked very nicely.
