Image Restoration Submission Procedure
If you would like to submit an image for restoration, you should email it to: Picturesolve@gmail.com
as an attachment. You may utilize any common image format or compression like gif, jpeg etc. Although compressed images are quicker to send, if you have original scan data, this is preferable, and will give better prospects for restoration. You should send a brief note explaining what feature you are particularly interested in, if this is not already obvious. (foreground, background etc). Also make sure that the desired return email address is provided. If you have original materials like negatives, or prints, we can scan and process them also.
Picturesolve will make our best effort to restore the image, and will notify you promptly on completion. We will attach to our reply to you by email, the restoration for your judgement. If you like what you see we will provide instructions for you to send us a check or money order for $50, and on receipt of your payment we will send you the picture with our insignia removed.
If we cannot produce an adequate result we will contact you to explain why.
We welcome any submissions, but reserve the right to decline service if the material is deemed inappropriate. It is our policy to strictly preserve the anonymity of our clients.
Your Prospects of Success
Please note that Image De-Blurring is not successful in every case. Some blurs are so complex that they prove impossible to model. There are also various other processes present which introduce random noise, thus limiting the quality of any restoration. Finally, image compression schemes commonly used in the transfer of pictures on the internet, will tend to undermine restoration attempts.
On the other hand, removal of regular patterns, however complicated, is achieved with high success rates.
