Remove Water Damage from Old Photos, water stained or any type of stain
Water damage :
This is a very common restoration request.
Many ask if there is anything they can do to fix water damage.
You can use the photo restoration process, or if your lucky you may be able to salvage your pictures, if they are still wet.
The important thing is do not let the photos dry out.
As your photographs dry, they may have been stained and they will stick to each other or the glass that they are in contact with, and you will not be able to remove them without causing more damage.
Here is something to remember, when a photograph is developed the last step the photographer performs is the wash, with water.
So gently rinse your photos in water use the bottom of your fingers to very gently rub to clean the photo in a try of water, do not use a brush or cotton or anything else so it will not scratch the emulsion, use only your hand because this way you can feel if the emulsion is comming off, which may happen very rarely, if it is you may not be able to save your photo to the same condition it was before.
Now remove your photographs from the water, one at a time.
Hang your prints from a clothesline to dry, or if you want it done faster use a hair dryer but blow the air on both sides as it begins to curl flip the photo over and repeat this untill the photo is dry.
Due to some conditions of the water damage such as stains some of your prints may suffer permanent damage.
In that case, you will need digital photo restoration work. Contact Us
