I have one cherished photograph of my late mother that has suffered over the years and now shows visible mold stains across the image. I’d like the piece brought back to life as faithfully and delicately as possible. You will have a set of older family photos to reference for facial features, skin tone, and clothing details, so the restored version can look authentic—not overly retouched but genuinely renewed. The main goal is to remove every trace of the mold, even out any tonal shifts it caused, revive natural color depth, and gently sharpen fine details without introducing an artificial look. If you normally work in Adobe Photoshop or equivalent high-end retouching software, please mention the workflow you prefer, especially any non-destructive techniques you’ll use so revisions remain simple. Deliverables • High-resolution digital file (TIFF and JPEG) suitable for archival printing • A smaller web-ready copy • Brief note on the steps taken, so I understand the process and can archive it with the image I will provide a scanned version at 600 dpi along with the reference photos once we begin. Let me know your estimated turnaround and any questions you might have about the source material.
