Damage we repair

Questions about scratches

The scratches run right across a face. Is that fixable?

Usually yes. Our artists rebuild features from what is genuinely visible in the photo — we never invent a face.

Should I clean the photo before sending it?

Please do not. Cleaning old prints often causes more damage. Just photograph it as it is.
