Restoration that respects the uniform

Military photographs carry detail that civilian restorations can afford to lose: rank chevrons, regimental flashes, campaign ribbons, unit insignia, name tags, and weapon markings. Aggressive auto-enhancement tools "smooth" these features into greyness, destroying details that descendants use to research service history.

Our restoration is specifically tuned to preserve military detail. Insignia stay readable, ribbon bars stay distinct, and rank marking remains crisp. Comprehensive Restoration with colourisation uses period-accurate uniform colours for British, American, Australian, Canadian, and other Commonwealth forces.
