Duplication and Restoration

Copying and restoring old paintings, drawings, or photographs can be an important part of preserving a family's heritage and cherished works of art.  It can also be a way of saving the works of young artists and keeping memories.  Digital files tell a thousand words.

Here are a few examples:

An old Illinois driver's license was the only photo of this young lady from long ago.  Franklin´s scanned the image, removed the seal, adjusted the color, sharpened the image, removed defects and enlarged the photo - making a 5 x 7 print.

An old photograph was brought into the shop after it had fallen from the wall.  The glass had broken and ripped a large line across the middle of the photo.  The photo was first scanned, then the rip line and other damaged areas were repaired.  The final step was the restoration of the image to it's original black and white color quality.

This was a great piece of student art - 24 by 24 inches.  The grandparents wanted a copy - same size and same color.  An easy job for Franklin´s.
