Your photo has surely come a long way over the past five to ten decades. Not every image can be saved, but we'll do our best to make a younger copy of the original. We'll print the new image using pigment inks with an archiving potential of more than a century. We'll give the image its lost luster back for another four generations.
Thanks to advanced digital technology and our graphical artists' experience, we can restore even a heavily-damaged, cracked or faded image by hand. We like to surprise You, our customers, as much as possible. Come visit us for a non-binding consultation. Prices starting at 120,- CZK (scanning+retouch). Advanced restoring according to individual offers..
35mm cine-film in a roll or individual squares (developed or not). Negative or positive film of 6x6, 6x9, 6x12, 13x17 sizes from large-format cameras. We can develop film locally in our dark chamber from brands like Zenit, Praktica, Flexaret, Minolta, Nikon etc. In the period before the first World War, photos were already of a quality high enough for us to increase a postcard-size picture up to a 70cm format. For high-resolution enlarging, please consult us with said picture - we'll be happy to help.
We will mend pictures displaying mechanical damage (dust, scratching, cracks). We will retouch photos damaged by moisture, fungus or dulling/reddening of the varnish. If possible, we'll also supplement any missing parts of the picture or retouch multiple pictures into one.
Positive film photos were usually limited to important events. The results from large-format resizings are outstanding. For a truly perfect result, this picture alteration requires a retouch of scratches, dust and colour corrections by hand.
Scanning 15-40,- CZK per picture depending on the resolution.
You can bring even framed pictures with a glass cover. Considering the risk of manipulating with said pictures, we can even leave them framed, if necessary - that is, without disassembly. We'll make the best duplicate possible, including a matching period frame. we offer over 300 frame decors and 100 passe-partout types. Vintage frames are also popular - they look excellent on pictures from the monochrome photo period.
We can also process photos on a glass pane. The usual size is 9x12cm, but others are also possible. These pictures, too, offer possibilities for scaling them past 100cm thanks to their excellent visual quality. Informative price including wet cleaning from 90 CZK/piece
