SNAPSHOT RESTORATION EXAMPLE
As with any photo, from a minor touch up to a complete restoration,
Slides n' Moore
can correct, retouch, repair, and restore your old, torn, scratched, damaged, faded and/or washed
out snapshots. We have had success correcting, retouching, repairing, and restoring snapshots that have been
torn into multiple
pieces and have multiple scratches as well as snapshots that have faded to a washed out
appearance. Once corrected, retouched, repaired and restored,
Slides n' Moore
can provide custom prints of the snapshot and archive the image (or images) on CD/ROM.
Slides n' Moore
has taken this opportunity to display a few of their print styles and sizes among
the snapshot examples below.

By any logic, a snapshot is a photograph, so everything on the
Photo Restore
page applies to snapshots. However, because of the snapshot's unique place in history,
we at
Slides n' Moore
have decided to give them their own page.
Snapshot has even become an accepted word in the English Language. Check it out in Webster's
Dictionary! The noun snapshot has been shortened becoming another noun, shot,
as in: "Take a shot of that scenery." Makes you wonder if that eventually
became a verb as in: "Let me shoot one of you and the dog."
Early in the 20th Century, Kodak introduced the famous
Brownie.
This little gem revolutionized photography, anyone could own their own camera
and take their own pictures. Through the 1920's and 30's millions of family snapshots
were taken and squirreled away in albums, closets, and basements. Through the 1940's, G.I.'s
carried these mementos overseas along with their own cameras. While most of these were b&w,
some of the later ones were in color.
It's time to take those
old snapshots out of storage and let family members share and enjoy their heritage.
Given a well focused original snapshot,
Slides n' Moore
has coaxed excellent prints up to and exceeding 11x14 inches from one of these
amazing little box camera wonders.
