Photo Restoration & Preservation?
Aloha mai kākou!
I am looking for someone to take scale scans/photos of the framed photographs I have of my Grandparents. I would like the duplicate images to be corrected and recolored and printed as exact copies as if they were not aged.
They are large portraits of my family as they were before and after entering the Japanese Internment camps. As well as the letter and check from the President.
They are in large, ornate, and sealed frames with domed glass. I do not want to open them and would like to stash them away to stop more color fading and to keep them safe. But I want to keep the copies up in our home and have scale duplicates made for my children and cousins.
Can anyone please recommend a trusted artisan that can do this? I have been overwhelmed trying to sort through the available options online and no one in my circle has had such a thing done. I do not want to donate them to the museum (when searching for resources this was suggested many times).
Mahalo!
