Photo Restoration & Editing For Genealogy Charts

Restoring old photographs is a very popular way to add a professional touch to any of your genealogy charts or reports. Including photos in your genealogy charts and reports raises the interest level that even the most casual observer will have in your family's genealogy. Unfortunately, old photos are often in poor condition, or contain scratches and blemishes that should be removed. We can scan your original photo or work from an existing digital image in JPEG, GIF, BMP or TIFF format.

We can provide exactly the right photo editing needed for any type of project. Our services can include any or all of the following procedures:

• Scanning your photos
• Resizing to fit your exact requirements, or to keep each photo the same perspective as others in your family's collection.
• Removing dust, scratches or blemishes from the scanned image. We do not make changes to your original photos. The changes are made only in the digital images that you will be using in your genealogy charts and reports.
• Creating a standardized oval appearance which looks very nice, as in the 1883 photo example of Dr. Julian Murray on the right and below.
• Removing the background from an image so only the individual is featured.
• Removing yellowing.
• Converting from a color photo to black & white if you'd like all of the photos on your chart to match.

Each photo restoration or editing project is custom quoted, so we must be able to see your photos or already scanned images first. We will also need to know exactly what you'd like us to do with each photo. If your photos are already scanned, you can send them to us on any type of computer disk or CD, or you can e-mail them to us at sales@ancestryprinting.com. If we will be working from existing photos, please mail them to us along with the printed order form available on our web site. On the order form, simply write "quote only" on the top of the page.

Please call us at 630-653-8400 or e-mail us at sales@ancestryprinting.com if you have any questions about our photo restoration services.
