Photo Restoration Tips Tips Banner

If you think you would like to try restoring photos yourself, here are some tips from our experts on getting started.

Invest in good equipment

To do this right, you will need a good scanner, a reasonably powerful computer, and photo editing software.

Learn proper scanning techniques

Make sure you know the ins and outs of using your scanner. An improperly scanned photo cannot be restored by anyone, even our experts!

Start off small

Some of the most difficult problems to fix are fading and overexposure. Start out by practicing with some easier problems, such as removing tears and stains.

Practice, practice, practice

It really takes practice to become good at restoring photos. So don't be afraid to jump in and try!
