Expert Digital Photo Restoration & Heritage Archiving by Thorn Valley Studios
Kao fotografi, razumijemo kako fotografije mogu ojačati uspomene, pa čak i pružiti načine da zadržite ljude sa vama.
Izblijedjelim slikama može se udahnuti novi život, mogu se izvući iznenađujući detalji, čak se mogu popraviti i nabori i poderotine.
Kako bismo pružili najbolju moguću uslugu, koristimo najsavremeniji dostupni softver i tehnologiju.
Naše usluge su podijeljene u 3 glavne kategorije:
-
Digitalizacija visoke rezolucije.
-
Digitalizacija i popravak.
-
Digitalizacija, popravka i ponovno bojenje.
Kako radi:
Možete poslati email*, objavite ili nam donesite svoju sliku(e) u kakvom god stanju se trenutno nalaze.
*Za digitalizaciju visoke rezolucije, morat ćete nam poslati ili donijeti originalne slike
NB. Iako možete skenirati i poslati nam svoje slike putem e-pošte, to može utjecati na konačni kvalitet i opcije veličine.
Budući da smo malo preduzeće, omogućava nam da odvojimo više vremena i brige za vaše dragocene uspomene. Kada digitalizujemo fotografijugrafike, optimizujemo ih za modernu reprodukciju velikog formata visoke rezolucije. Koristimo najsavremeniju opremu, čuvajući svaku sliku po najvišem mogućem standardu za ponovno štampanje u zavisnosti od veličine, starosti, vrste i kvaliteta papira.
Ne ubacujemo ga samo u neki softver i nadamo se najboljem. Zahvaljujući našem iskustvu profesionalnih fotografa, koristimo širok spektar profesionalnih softvera za uređivanje fotografija i grafike kako bismo dočarali originalne boje, tonove kože, vrstu filma i papira, a zatim popravili sva oštećenja i uklonili prašinu s originalne slike ako je potrebno._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
Čak i ako je slika pocepana, zaglavljena unutar staklenog okvira ili foto-albuma ili ako joj nedostaju dijelovi, nada nije nužno izgubljena! Samo nas kontaktirajte da razgovaramo o situaciji, pa ćemo vidjeti šta možemo učiniti.
Ako je nešto poput stare slike koju želite da vratite originalne boje, prašinu/ogrebotine očišćene i/ili promijenite veličinu, možemo vam ugoditi.
Masovna restauracija boja iz crno-bijelih slika je nešto što radimo. Međutim, zbog dužine ovog procesa, zahtijevat ćemo bespovratni depozit prije nego što možemo zakazati vaše restauratorske radove.
Kada se restauracija završi vratit ćemo vašu originalnu sliku(e) i digitalnu kopiju restaurirane slike. Toplo preporučujemo profesionalnu štampu i pružamo usluge štampanja na najkvalitetnijim arhivskim fotografskim papirima i mastilima kako bismo osigurali da vaše slike traju generacijama koje dolaze.

Our Clients Say
"Just had a fantastic journey with Thorn Valley, from an initial idea to get an old black and white photo re-coloured, to restoring some images that I thought were beyond repair and amazingly digitally copying, enhancing and reproducing a very precious 50 year old Maritime Architects drawing that I thought was never going to see the light of day again."
