Restoring old photographs 1, 2, and 3.

2018, Favourite, Inspiration, Q&A, Teaching point

These photos have been in my wife’s family for decades but they have begun to discolour, fade, and disintegrate.

So, yesterday I tried my hand at digitally restoring them.

Technique:

  • My wife photographed the original prints with her Sony RX100
  • I processed the files in Lightroom.

My goal was not only to restore them, but to preserve the integrity/intent of the original images, by not altering them in any significant way.
