Restoring insect-damaged photos

Insect damage, particularly from silverfish, is a common issue with old silver gelatin prints. These prints were created using light-sensitive silver salts fixed to paper with a gelatin emulsion—a material silverfish find especially appealing. Over time, this can result in unsightly holes and missing details.

At Flashback Photo Co, we specialise in digitally repairing this type of damage. Using advanced techniques, we seamlessly clone surrounding areas or meticulously recreate missing elements, including faces and clothing, with photo-realistic precision.

To preserve your restored memories, we produce archival-quality prints on paper that captures the texture and feel of the original photo, ensuring they last for generations to come.
