PHOTO RESTORATION SERVICES
Over the years Sebastian Wintermute has successfully restored thousands of photographs and documents of great personal and historical significance. All restoration work is done in his studio located in New York City, using only the highest quality equipment and materials.Every photo restoration project start with the high quality and high resolution scan of the original photograph, document or artwork.
The scanned image is then exported into professional digital photo editing software for the repair work to begin. Starting with the removal of spots and scratches work progresses toward more difficult restoration tasks such as replication of missing sections and repair of water and mildew damaged areas. Color corrections and adjustments are added in a non-destructive manner. After all signs of damages have been eliminated the image can be resized and cropped according to customers specification and additional treatments such as photo tinting and coloring may be applied.
