Removing photographs from self-adhesive albums

  • to pry them up, use a thin craft spatula
  • use a warm blow drier to melt the gum between photo and the page
  • run waxed dental floss between the photo and the page
  • if none of these work just simply cut the photos out of the album

Repairing damage photographs

  • Make use of the Adobe Photoshop on your computer. Scan your photo and use it to erase stains and correct color.
  • Don’t try to restore cracks, tears, or scratches on your own. Look for a photograph processor who offers digital restoration. They will produce a new negative by taking a picture out of the old one. They will add contrast to faded areas and lightens stains. Surely you will get a brand new old photo.
