Restoration of the Month
 | | Panoramic Group Army Photo, 1944 |
This vintage, WWII Panorama of the 590th Quartermaster Salvage Repair Company, Camp Ellis, IL, had grayed and yellowed with age. It also had several tears and multiple creases along its 27" length. We scanned the original in pieces, digitally reassembled them and then removed the creases and tears, increased the contrast and sharpened the detail. We kept the slightly yellow tint to retain its antique quality. The digital reprint looked even better than new.
