First up we will need to see your photo. This can be uploaded to our portal if it has been scanned or if you have a jpeg file or have photographed the original. In both cases what is to be sent to us should be of a high quality for accurate assessment. If you are unable to scan the image you can post the original photo to our Post Office address and we will attend to the scanning up to A4 size. Please advise us if you intend to post an image. Re Photographing by Photo Fixa – framing your restored photo
If you have a large photograph (ie larger than A4 size), Photo Fixa can photograph the image professionally to file for retouching. If the photo is currently framed it could be necessary to remove it from the frame for optimal reproduction quality. This will ultimately mean that professional re-framing could be required.
Negative and Colour Slide Scanning by Photo Fixa If your original photo is beyond repair but you have the negative, we at Photo Fixa can professionally scan the negative or slide and digitally repair any faults that it might have. We use highly resolution 4800 x 4800 dpi scanners for optimal results.
If you are able to scan your photo please take a moment to read our simple scanning guidelines below:
Our Epson Perfection Photo Scanner with its professional abilities, means Photo Fixa can scan negative film strips and colour slides and capture all the detail available to save to digital file so you can have them printed or just keep on file for the future.BY way of example, Photo Fixa can scan a 35mm slide or negative and provide you with a hard copy image up to an A4 print (297mm x 210mm ) at cost.
Remember, the above is a guide. Photos have to be assessed on a case by case basis and some may not fall under the above categories.
One of the most difficult restorations involves the human face. The face is asymmetrical and any damage to eyes, mouth, nose etc. is hard to replicate or replace .
Did you know that there are 7.8 billion people on Earth, 22 million of them are identical to at least one other person, leaving 7.778 billion variations of the human face!
Some photos that are very severely damaged and may appear unrepairable can be partially repaired while other photos that have little to no scratches and blemishes or apparent damage but the subject’s face has severe damage may fall under the Stage***** Restoration rather than the Stage* to Stage***. Faces are the most difficult of restorations.
