Restore colour to
faded Photos
Why do photos fade or discolour over time?
When we restore colour to faded photos, we bring them back to how they looked originally.
Colour photos fade over time and colours become distorted, especially true of images exposed to ultra violet sunlight.
Ultraviolet light will destabilise the dyes used to make colour prints, transparencies and colour negative film. In time, this causes the dyes to fade. Although less of a problem with modern inkjet printers, with claims that some inkjet prints may last for fifty years – while this may be true, of course it has yet to be proven. However, all dyes will fade given sufficient time.
Is it possible to restore colour to faded photos when they are already discoloured?
Yes, absolutely!
We restore colour to faded photos and bring their colour back to life through a process known as “recolouration”. That is to say, removing the discolouration and rebuilding the colours digitally.
To this end, we consult with each client about details such as the colour of clothing, decor, etc. So, we will restore the original colour as closely as possible. In significant discolouration, when the original colour is unknown, we will generate a natural-looking image, in keeping with that era.
