Our High-Resolution Scanning Technique for Family Photos
Alexandra Popescu
Photo Restoration Specialist
In our workshop, the process of recovering old photographs begins with an essential step: high-resolution scanning. This is the key to capturing every detail, every nuance, and even the finest scratches on the surface of old photo paper.
"A quality scan doesn't just mean a large file. It means maximum fidelity to the original, preserving the authenticity of the moment captured decades ago."
Our Work Steps
-
1
Physical Assessment of the Photograph
We examine the material's condition, degree of degradation, and type of scratches to choose the optimal scanning settings.

Professional Scanning
We use specialized equipment that captures the image at over 4800 DPI, ensuring an exceptional digital base for restoration.

From black and white portraits to color photos from the '70s-'90s.
Negatives
