Restoration Examples
See what careful restoration can recover.
From damaged family copies to historic public archive portraits, each image is reviewed for tone, texture, detail, and preservation value. These examples are formatted as clean before-and-after cards for easy comparison.
Photocopy recovery and color restoration
This family image existed only as a low-quality photocopy with visible line distortion and loss of detail. Restoration reduced pattern interference, rebuilt tonal depth, and carefully reintroduced color for modern viewing and archival use.

Visible damage repair and portrait refinement
A family archive portrait of my great grandmother with visible surface damage, fading, and background distractions. The restoration softens damage while preserving the original portrait character.
Queen Liliʻuokalani color restoration
Queen Liliʻuokalani was the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This example demonstrates restoration and color treatment for a late-19th-century public archive portrait.
Ruth L. Gerth archival portrait refinement
Ruth L. Gerth was born in Illinois in 1897 and later worked as an industrial designer for Chase Brass & Copper Company. This example focuses on tonal refinement and facial clarity.
Historic portrait restoration
A late-19th-century portrait of an unidentified African American man photographed by T.J. Trapp in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The restoration preserves the period feel while improving tone and clarity.
Some historical images used for demonstration purposes are sourced from public archive collections. Family archive images are used as Phoenix Heritage Restoration samples.

Only have a photocopy or phone photo?
