It’s hard to see family heirlooms crumble away. Photos especially are susceptible to light and environmental damage like acids and oils from handling, or dampness from storage. And since older photos don’t usually come with the negative to make a new print, it can feel like you’re losing family history when photos start to decay. Perhaps your old photos have darkened with age, or you want to backup these old photos as insurance against fire or other disasters.
That’s where MotoPhoto can help. MotoPhoto uses a computer based restoration process to bring new life to faded or damaged photographs*. Your original materials never leave our store. A digital file is scanned from the original, and all retouching and restoration work is done electronically, so your original print is not compromised. A CD of your images is provided upon completion for future prints.
*We retouch and restore what already exists but we can't recover images that have faded completely or create a photograph of a person or an object from a description.
