Transforming B&W Photos Into
Living Colour
At Photo Restoration Melbourne, our expert photo colourising service is dedicated to transforming your antique black-and-white photos into vibrant, lifelike masterpieces that create lasting family keepsakes.
Our meticulous process isn't just about applying a generic filter. We ensure that every single element—from complex skin tones to historical clothing—is captured and brought to life with total authenticity and respect for the original image.
Our Colourisation Process
Consultation & Assessment
We start by discussing your vision. We carefully review the B&W photo to understand its condition and identify key areas that require specific colour enhancement.
High-Res Scanning
Once we understand your expectations, the original photo is safely scanned at an ultra-high resolution to preserve every microscopic detail for digital processing.
Historical Research
To ensure absolute accuracy, we conduct research using historical references, old photographs, and consult with you regarding specific uniform or hair colours.
Precision Application
Using advanced software and digital drawing tablets, we expertly layer colours with precision, giving special attention to skin tones, clothing, and backgrounds.
Review & Refinement
We share a digital proof with you for feedback. We make careful adjustments to brightness, contrast, and saturation based on your input to ensure it looks perfectly natural.
Final Delivery
Upon your approval, we deliver a stunning high-resolution digital copy. We also offer various archival museum-grade printing options to suit your needs.
