Antique photograph restoration requires specialist knowledge of historical photographic processes — daguerreotypes, tintypes, albumen prints, and early gelatin silver prints each deteriorate in specific ways that demand tailored restoration approaches.

Antique restoration requires more than technical skill — it requires historical research. Our specialists understand period-accurate tonal ranges and apply restoration that enhances without creating anachronistic results.
After receiving your high-resolution scan, Oval Infotech's restoration specialist produces a restoration plan noting every area requiring repair — scratches, stains, missing sections, chemical deterioration. This plan is reviewed before work begins, and a restoration preview at 25% progress is shared with clients on complex heavily damaged images before the full restoration is completed.
Delivery typically takes 48–72 hours for standard restoration and 5–7 days for heavily damaged images requiring significant reconstruction. All restorations are delivered as TIFF files at the original scan resolution, preserving maximum quality for future reprinting. JPEG versions are provided for sharing and online display. The original scan is never modified — all work is done on a working copy.
Restored photographs serve a different purpose from most commercial photography — they are the primary visual record of people and places that will never be photographed again. This makes quality a different kind of imperative: a commercial product photograph that misses brief can be reshot. A great-great-grandmother's only surviving portrait cannot. Our restoration specialists approach every antique image with this understanding.
Oval Infotech stores a working backup of every antique restoration scan and the completed restoration file for 12 months after delivery. If a client needs the file again after a hard drive failure, or requires a different output size for a different print project, we can re-export from the original restoration without any additional charge. This archive continuity is included in every restoration order.
Professional photo editing is not simply about making images look better — it is about giving your clients the confidence that their marketing materials represent their business at its best. In competitive real estate and commercial photography markets, the quality gap between professionally edited images and smartphone-level processing is immediately visible to the buyers and clients who matter most.
Oval Infotech has delivered professional editing to 500+ photographers and agencies across 50+ countries since 2014. Every image passes a documented three-stage quality control process before delivery. Our free trial allows every new client to verify our standard with their own most challenging images — no payment required, no obligation to continue. Contact us at venkatesh@ovalinfotech.com to get started.
Every image delivered by Oval Infotech passes a three-stage quality control process: the editing specialist reviews their own work at 100% zoom, a team lead compares the delivery against the client's style guide reference images, and a final export check confirms resolution, colour profile, and file format compliance. This process applies to every image in every batch — no exceptions for volume, deadline pressure, or simple briefs.
The result is a delivery standard that clients can rely on completely: images that meet brief, arrive on time, and maintain quality across every order. Our revision rate — the percentage of delivered images requiring any correction — is under 1% across all accounts. New clients can verify this standard with a free 5-image trial before committing to any paid order. Contact us at venkatesh@ovalinfotech.com.
