These are genuine before-and-after results from our curated test archive and historical prints, not customer testimonials: repairs, recovered faces, and optional color. Drag any one to compare, then picture your own shoebox here.
This Gallery is the craft proof: originals beside restorations. For complete photographs with names, dates, sources, and family context, walk the Museum.
Curated test examples from family and historical prints. These are product demonstrations, not customer testimonials.
Showing the faithful restored result for each public example.

Archive context: original saved, restored version chosen, names and caption ready for private sharing.
AfterBeforeA grandfather and grandchild on the front steps. Fading is repaired and the original mood remains.

Focused examples for blur, glare, grain, and face-detail issues.

AfterBeforeAn old print scanned beside a bright window, the light washing across the room. The wash is pulled back so the children, the crib and the table read clearly. The window itself stays blown out — that detail was never captured, so it is not invented here.
