The approach
Restoration is not reinvention.
Old photographs collect cracks, stains, fading and missing areas. The goal is to reduce those distractions while respecting the people, texture and period held by the original.
The amount of work depends less on print size than on the type and location of the damage. A clear assessment helps choose between basic correction and detailed reconstruction.

FAQ
Before you book.
How much does photo restoration cost in Berlin?
Basic work begins at €45. Intermediate, advanced and premium levels are available for heavier damage and reconstruction.
What damage can be restored?
Fading, dust, scratches, tears, stains and some missing areas can often be improved. The realistic result depends on how much original information remains.
Should I clean the photograph first?
No. Avoid liquids, rubbing and new adhesive, especially with fragile or historically important photographs. Bring the original as it is.
Will the restored image still look authentic?
That is the intention. We reduce damage without automatically removing every sign of age or inventing details that cannot be supported.
Can I order a print of the restored photograph?
Tell us the intended print size during assessment so capture, restoration and output can be planned together.

Give the photograph a clear job.
Old photographs, digital archives and larger prints.
Digital restoration repairs the reproduced image; it is not physical conservation of the original object. For a family archive, request an unretouched scan and a separate restored version in the agreed delivery. If areas are missing, any reconstruction is an interpretation rather than recovered historical detail. For an enlargement, confirm the target dimensions before restoration so scan quality, retouching and crop are planned together. Photo-print scanning and final prints are separate services unless included in the selected restoration package or quotation.
