Colouring and Tinting.
Our colouring or colourizing of old black & white or sepia prints is second to none.Once we have repaired any damage to the print, the next task is to research the colours of clothing and backgrounds of the subjects. We have an extensive image library of clothing worn by people from 1850 onwards from all over the world to accurately colour match you print.
Photographs from military years are researched from armed forces archives. Accuracy in colours is paramount to our beliefs/ethics of recreating a true representation of the original photograph. Skin tones are the most important colours to get right,again we use a mix of techniques to achieve the best results.

Removing Objects and People
We provide an objects or people removal service. Sometimes photos have people in the frame of a lovely picture, maybe a wedding photo or a holiday picture of historical architectural interest, only to be spoilt by someone you did not intend to be in the picture.These things happen and we have the artists here to remove them for you.
Re-Touching images
We also provide a bespoke re-touching service. This service is aimed for removing any marks or scars that show up on a photo.We can recreate a full makeup with a skin purifying effect for any modelling portfolios. We can turn a normal everyday photo into a magazine cover finished image. Our artists have many years experience in cover model re-touch work.Please contact us for further information about the special effects we provide.
