Morning, I've recently put together a tutorial on how you can restore your old family photos for free. For any budding genealogist or person looking to have a go at restoring basic/medium damage to the photo this is the perfect starting point, and as I say, it's free. m Photoshop is the go to tool f...

As it's FA cup weekend I've added the link to my latest blog, which shows a restored photo of the FA cup winners from 100 years ago.

Have a look to see who the winners were. A bit of local history provided for the centenary anniversary.

Evening, I've recently started a photo blog for my photo restoration website and having restored a few photos from the forum I'm all for helping out and giving a bit of my knowledge back. We've a few blog posts up now varying from how to store photos through to the future of photography and will peo...

Note we also offer free photo dating advice.

If you have a photo you can't date let us know and we'll help out.

Kind regards

Thanks to those who sent their photos. Unfortunately the free offer is now closed - we'll look to run it again next January.

In the meantime we do offer a free photo dating service if anyone is struggling dating a photo.

Morning,

just a quick note further to the above.

We've had a couple of enquiries, which we're working on, but when making your initial enquiry if you could mention you saw this post on the Geneology Forum that would be helpful.

Thanks

Brent

Morning,

Evening, I've previously made an article in the Photo discussion section. http://www.genealogyforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=12764 Without going in to too much detail I'm a Professional Photo Restorer and as January is a bit of a slow month I am looking for more work to keep me occupied....

Evening, One thing I haven't mentioned is that whilst I am a professional photo restorer I'm also passionate about history and old photos. So if there are any budding restorers out there who just want some guidance or tips I'm always available to pm, or email me through the website, and I'll happily...

Evening, not been on for a while but for those interested please take a look at our new examples page. The picture in the top right is an old photo of the River Liffey in Dublin, the picture next to that is my Grandfather as a child, the bottom left picture is a picture of a naval officer in his ham...

Here's another example of some recent restoration work we've done. The damaged photo is from the second world war and shows a man in the navy taking a rest in his hammock. As you can see the orignal photos is very badly damaged but we've restored the image completely. m is the link if you'd like us ...

Evening,

if you roll the mouse over the damaged image on the photo restoration page you can see the restoration work.

However, to demonstrate I have attached both pictures here.

Thanks for all the pointers, I really want to learn as I go and having read the sticky in the forum I think it's good that the answers aren't provided and that you just get clues to learn yourself. I don't have a marriage certificate but my Mum may hold some stuff somewhere in relation to Grandparen...

Thanks, I'm looking to trace the family back as far as possible really and I don't really have much of an idea where to start. Unfortunately the family doesn't have much information to go on. Like I say, I have the names and I know the names of my grandparents so if someone could give me a pointer i...
