A Request from a Genealogist
An Italian Genealogist asked us to restore this photo of his ancestor. The man was his great grandfather and the photo was taken around 1917 during the World War I. The photo was unfortunately in a very bad condition.
First of all we desaturated the image to obtain an uniform color. We removed all dust, and marks on it. We repaired the cracks, and creases, and we tried to remove all spots. We also reconstructed the torned edge.
Then we “polished” all his beautiful buttons, and the spur on his boots.
At last we added a nice sepia-toning.

When we restore an old photo we never do any changes on it, because you should always be able to recognize the original image. We just clean and repair it, and enhance the significant and beautiful parts in it.
