Restoration Photo Frame Black and White to Colour

Should an old black and white photograph be coloured? This restoration photo print takes the B/W original, restore it and colours it, and the answer usually depends on the picture. Upload a clear scan, tell us anything you remember about the colours, and choose the print size.

How the colours are decided

1. Skin tones are set first, judged from the tonal values in the monochrome original.
2. Clothing and fabric follow. This is where your notes matter, because grey can be almost any colour.
3. Backgrounds and skies are placed last, kept restrained so they do not pull attention off the faces.
4. The coloured file is printed high-resolution on photo paper.

What to tell us before we start

Anything you know. The colour of a sari, a uniform, a front door, someone’s eyes. A single remembered detail changes the whole picture, and it is the difference between a plausible colouring and an accurate one. Without notes our artists work from tonal likelihood, which is good but is still a guess. Your uploaded images are deleted from our system as soon as the order is dispatched. A restor result instead sits in our black and white to colour digital painting listing.

Colourful Restoration Artwork

This keeps the result photographic. If you would rather have something that reads as artwork on a wall, that is a different product. It sits in our black and white to colour painting listing.

Sizes, finish and framing

Ten sizes from 12×15 to 36×48 inches, including 12×18, 16×20, 20×24 and 20×30. Glossy is standard; matte can be requested at extra cost. Add a 1 inch brown synthetic frame, or leave it unframed for your own. Keeping it monochrome instead is our black and white restoration print.

Common questions about photo restorations

Will the colours be accurate?

As accurate as the information allows. Tell us what you remember and they will be.

Can damage be enhanced at the same time?

Yes. The photograph is enhanced before it is coloured, as part of the same job.

How long does it take?

Three to five business days, longer if the original is heavily damaged.

Can the background be replaced?

Yes, on request and at additional cost, depending on the condition of the original.
