Below are samples of work done by Eagle Graphics. The before and after pictures are displayed here, with permission of the clients involved.
This 55 year old photo was rolled in a tube for 54 years. When removed, it shattered. No other service would attempt a repair on it, due to the extensive cracking and severe damage to all areas of the photo. Its owner brought it to Eagle Graphics.
This photo required in excess of 120 hours to repair, and colorize. Eagle Graphics took on this repair to prove what other services said was impossible.. wasn't. We restored a real 55 year old memory to an old soldier who gave much to his country.
We were assigned this portrait to repair for the sad event of the client's mother's funeral. The original portrait was under glass, and had been water-damaged. It was stuck to the glass, and the client had tried unsuccessfully to remove it, and this attempt had damaged the photo more. We used a special process to remove the glass, after scanning the image first: this image. But a second scan after the glass was removed yielded no improvement, since the damage had loosened all the film's emulsion before we got the portrait, and there was, unfortunately, no possibility of salvaging the loss. Our repair was then based on this scanned image.
Since there was insufficient detail to duplicate the original blouse in the portrait, we painted in other detail, as directed by our client. We also had a second photo of the client on which to base details of teeth, lips, and chinline, which were also digitally painted into the scanned image in the reconstruction. This image is the result of that reconstruction.
An example of placing a person into another picture started with this picture, a client's childhood picture in black and white, showing her in western style clothing on her front porch
This is the client's fiance, at about the same age, cropped from a family picture, in color. The client asked us to put her fiance in the picture of her and keep the doll buggy in the picture.
The picture of the little boy was inserted into the client's picture, alongside the client, and behind the buggy, retaining the detail of the buggy, in black and white. The final image was printed in an 8x10 format, for a Christmas gift for both the client's mother and her fiance's mother, and was done in black and white.
The client wrote this about the picture (from email received):
"Pat,
What an excellent job you did on combining the childhood pictures of my fiance and me. Our mothers will really be surprised at Christmas time. I was very impressed. I took the photos around and showed everyone what a great job you did, they were all impressed.Thanks again, you do great work!
