Genealogy

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.

Armadukk wrote just to tell us that she has started with her genealogy research. She wanted us to restore the following photo for her.

This photo was taken in the middle of 1920, and it had a dark brown spot in the right corner. The photo was also a little faded. Not a very big problem, but enough to ruin the photo.

We removed the large spot, increased the brightness, and after that we added a Sepia Toning. That was all we needed to do to change the image to the better.

Small changes can do a lot.

This old photo from 1910 belongs to AlexR, and is part of a genealogic research that he is working on. The man portrayed in the photo is AlexR's great grandfather.

AlexR asked us if we could repair the picture for him. He was not very precise in his request because he didn't know exactly what could be done to the image. He wanted only to improve it. So he wrote "I leave it to you to decide what to do."  And sometimes that's enough for us.  

The image had a very poor quality, it was faded and had markings on it. The background was also very ugly.

We started with a "clean-up" of the background. Thereafter the color was changed, and on top we added some filters. That's for the background.

Then we proceeded with the marks in the face, and the strong light on the mans forehead. To get an even color all over the image, we desaturated it; then we added a Sepia toning. Afterwards we improved the brightness, the hue, and the saturation.

Since AlexR didn't give us any instructions about how he wanted the final result, we made two versions so he could choose the one he liked best.

AlexR has also been so kind to allow us to republish the "remake" that we had done with his great grandfather.

Today we have been working with this photo. The image is from 1927 and it had a few marks and spots and it was very dark. For the rest it was not so bad.

We started by taking away the spots and made a general cleaning. After that we concentrated on the darkness and we lightened it up.

We added some special light effects to the eyes and fixed the face a little and there it was. No, that is not true we played around a little with different frames and we added a transparent frame for this image.

You can add different toning effect to your photos.

For example a sepia toning. A sepia tone is a reddish brown monochrome tint; when applied to a photo, it gives the picture a warm, antique feeling. That way you can use the sepia effect to make an old photo appear... even older!

Here is an example:

There are also other toning effects, such as monotone or black&white. Read more about these effects on the B&W or Monotone Image page.
