Expert Digital Photo Restoration & Heritage Archiving by Thorn Valley Studios

Sem ljósmyndarar skiljum við hvernig ljósmyndir geta styrkt minningar og jafnvel veitt leiðir til að halda fólki hjá þér.

Nýju lífi er hægt að blása í fölnar myndir, hægt er að draga fram óvænt smáatriði, jafnvel laga hrukkur og rifur. 

Til að veita bestu mögulegu þjónustu notum við nýjasta hugbúnað og tækni sem völ er á.

Þjónustu okkar er skipt í 3 meginflokka:

  • Háupplausn stafræn virkni.

  • Stafræn væðing og viðgerðir.

  • Stafrænn, viðgerð og endurlitun.

Hvernig það virkar:

Þú getur sent tölvupóst*, póstaðu eða færðu okkur myndirnar þínar í hvaða ástandi sem þær eru núna.

*Til að stafræna háupplausn þarftu að senda eða færa okkur upprunalegu myndirnar

NB. Þó að þú getir skannað myndirnar þínar og sent okkur tölvupóst getur þetta haft áhrif á endanleg gæði og stærðarvalkosti.

Að vera lítið fyrirtæki gerir okkur kleift að taka meiri tíma og umhyggju fyrir dýrmætu minningunum þínum. Þegar við stafrænum ljósmyndmyndritum, fínstillum við þær fyrir nútíma stórsnið, háupplausnafritun. Við notum nýjasta búnaðinn, varðveitum hverja mynd á hæsta mögulega staðli til endurprentunar eftir stærð, aldri, pappírsgerð og gæðum.

Við hendum því ekki bara í einhvern hugbúnað og vonum það besta. Þökk sé reynslu okkar sem atvinnuljósmyndarar notum við fjölbreytt úrval af faglegum ljósmyndaklippingar- og grafíkhugbúnaði til að draga fram upprunalegu litina, húðlitina, filmuna og pappírsgerðina, gera við allar skemmdir og fjarlægja ryk af upprunalegu myndinni ef þörf krefur._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

Jafnvel þó að myndin sé rifin, föst inni í glerramma eða myndaalbúmi eða vantar hluti, er ekki endilega von að hún sé úti! Hafðu bara samband við okkur til að ræða stöðuna og við sjáum hvað við getum gert.

Ef það er eitthvað eins og gömul mynd sem þú vilt koma til baka upprunalegu litina, ryk/ripur hreinsað upp og/eða endurstærð getum við komið til móts við þig.

Magn litaendurheimt frá svarthvítum myndum er eitthvað sem við gerum. Hins vegar, vegna þess hve þetta ferli er langt, munum við krefjast óendurgreiðanlegrar innborgunar áður en við getum tímasett endurreisnarvinnu þína.

Þegar endurgerðinni er lokið munum við skila upprunalegu myndinni þinni og stafrænu afriti af endurheimtu myndinni. Við mælum eindregið með faglegri prentun og veitum prentþjónustu á hágæða ljósmyndapappír og bleki til að tryggja að myndirnar þínar endist fyrir komandi kynslóðir.

Hafðu samband við okkur til að fá frekari upplýsingar eða til að ræða kröfur þínar.​

Our Clients Say

Photo Restoration by Thorn Valley Studios

"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."
