Have you thought about Black & White to Colour Conversion?

Hand-Colouring from only £30

Our photo restoration services expert, James Middleton, has mastered the art of meticulously hand-tinting black-and-white photographs. Way beyond the abilities of AI alone. Using his signature blend of filters and techniques, he can transform most black-and-white images into vivid colour. The final, hand-tinted photos never cease to amaze our clients.

How to get your photograph to us

We typically work with scanned digital copies rather than original photographs. We prefer to work with image files sent to info@turningturnip.co.uk, via free services, such as fromsmash or wetransfer. If you only have a hard copy and you don’t have access to a scanner, we can scan your original photo for a fee of £5, plus postage and packaging costs to return the print. For those scanning at home, please follow these guidelines:

Black & White Original: Scan in as Greyscale.
Colour original: Scan in as either RGB or CMYK.
300 DPI: For finished print at the same size as the original.
600 DPI: For finished print at x2 size as the original.
Effects/Filters: None.

This approach enables us to edit the digital file non-destructively, preserving your original, irreplaceable photograph without risk.

When scanning your photos at home, we recommend the following image dimensions in pixels to allow for over-scanning and to accommodate borders on the original photograph:

6 x 4” = 2250 x 1500 pixels
7 x 5″ = 2500 x 1786 pixels
8 x 6″ = 2600 x 1950 pixels
10 x 8″ = 3250 x 2600 pixels

For scans containing large non-photographic areas (such as frames and borders), please increase the dimensions as needed to achieve the highest quality. Over-scanning the original photograph provides us with greater detail, ensuring exceptional results for our professional retouching.

If you have questions about scanning, image dimensions, or any of our photo restoration services, please feel free to contact us. Our team is delighted to offer guidance to help you achieve optimal scans for our Photoshop retouching services. 01626 863367.
