Closing Words
One of the favorite pastimes of families is bringing out old photo albums, huddling up and reminiscing about the old times, viewing the photos from the albums. As the photos get older, they lose their newness, and very old photos usually lack detail and color. Year after year, it becomes more and more difficult to see what’s in the photograph. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to repair photo albums at home? Especially without paying robbing a bank or selling a kidney to pay for professional photo restoration services?
Part I: Why Do I Need a Photo Restoration Tool?
You may think that photos becoming more and more illegible each passing year are part and parcel of life. You might even call it poetic and symbolic of life. However, that does not have to be so. Photos are legacies people leave behind for their loved ones. How else would I know and see how my great grandpa looked like? Were it not for photo restoration or picture restoration as it also goes by, maybe I wouldn’t know! And as it happens, we don’t need to empty the bank in pursuit of memorializing our photo legacies either! Technology today has brought photo restoration to our desktops and laptops, and, as it happens, to our web browsers, too.
Any or all of the below issues would require a photo restoration software to bring the photos back to as close as they originally were:
Color Fade
Deteriorating ink causes what looks like color fading from the photographs. Today’s inks have the longest shelf lives ever under certain conditions, but that was not the case decades ago. Even so, photos are rarely ever kept under ideal conditions. Color fade is a common issue that ails old photographs.
Scratches, Crinkles and Creases
Photos that are not kept organized in a photo album are usually found crinkled and creased years later and are often even scratched by other objects kept carelessly alongside. Together, they ruin the detail in photos.
Degrading Paper
Paper degrades. You may be able to delay it, but it degrades. Especially when it is not preserved appropriately. If you have photos simply strewn in a box, or worse, in a place that is regularly exposed to elements such as light, dust and humidity, you would certainly be looking at photos where the photo paper has degraded enough to make the photos appear bad/ faded/ tinged with a layer of color.
Years ago, you would require the services of professional photo restoration companies that would charge you an arm and a leg. Today, with accessible technology, you can restore old photos yourself with panache at a fraction of the cost.
Picking a Photo Restoration Software
There is a difference between photo editing and photo restoration. Photo editing is simply tinkering with a photo to get the desired results whereas a photo restoration software works to restore and recolor photos the way they should be.
