Here's a handful of examples of photo work that I've already done for myself, showcasing my skills. I picked out three old family photos that I put on an A4 flatbed scanner. The images are shown much smaller than the final hi-res files, which were suitable for printing at reasonable size. Click on the thumbnails for medium-sized versions.

This picture was a bit of a mess! There were a number of tears across it, including areas of important detail, and all sorts of yellow marks including fingerprints! It took just over an hour to restore it to good health.

In general this photo wasn't too bad, but there was a nasty fold down the centre and a fair bit of dust and hairs, and more significantly a fair chunk torn off the top through someone's head! I managed to rebuild him and also touch up the imperfections in the rest of the picture.

This old photo was in good physical shape but was rather faded. I had to adjust the brightness and contrast levels to bring out the detail.

This was an extremely faded photo, which to the naked eye was even less visible than the first image shown here! The challenge here was to bring out the subtle details. The large crack down the right-hand side was removed, and a few more minor blemishes eliminated.

This final photo was fine for brightness etc, but was covered in scratches, which had to be removed. The brightness difference due to the frame (seen as a lighter border in the left image) was also minimised.
