| Antiques looked best when new. Time can make old prints look rather gruesome. OCP edits old print images for darkening, fading, chips, tears, gaps, folds, writing added not by artists, stamps, and dirt, whenever practical. Some images are beyond restoring by copying pixels into damaged areas. Note that waterproof paper is a new option. Also note that these are antiques, so don't always expect the same crispness as offered by modern technology. |
