Restoring your photos or making your image print-ready does not have to be a time consuming process.
If you have not explored using an image editing program, there are a number of good ones out there that I recommend to my customers. Many of them are submitting old photos of family members to be printed on canvas or a high grade photo paper (see FinerWorks.com for more details) or sometimes it is a photo that they want to touch up or edited a certain way to server as an underpainting. Some software programs are more expensive then others. Below is a list of some of my favorites for preparing artwork or photographs to be printed on canvas or fine art paper.
