In the days of the yore, a photograph was a celebration and taking it was a mammoth's task, with the vast camera, big lenses, and the issuing paraphernalia. Later it became a way to mark a joyous occasion, often birthdays, anniversaries, and parties, where professionals were paid to freeze our memories in time. Today though, anything and everything is a click away, even a perfect picture (though it might just need more than one click). But the memories of the past are now stored in the age-old albums, where the dust and decay, but most importantly time, fade the colors of the memory landscape. As these problems surfaced, so did the solutions in the form of a not-so-new phenomenon of photograph restoration.

So, what can you do if you want to restore such old photos properly? Or, if it's your grandmom's birthday and you want to gift her, a beautiful portrait of herself, but the photo you have of hers is barely holding together? Or if there's a very old photo of your great-grandpa that you'd like to show your cousins, but the photo is barely understandable? Worry not, as I have the solution right here for you!
