One of the skills we use every day in the production of our graphics and imagery is that of Photo Retouching (or digital image manipulation), commonly known as "Photoshopping" after the popular software package. In all the examples below the original is shown first! - Mouse over to see the transformation, click to get a closer view.

The first image above demonstrates a simple text retouch of an old padlock. The image was used on the cover of the last programme for the Scarlets at Stradey Park. Mouse over the image to see the enhancements made or click to see a larger version.

This can be as simple as the removal of blemishes from a face (below) or brightening of teeth and eyes, to removing unsightly shadows, people or objects that spoil the look of an image. Mouse over the images to see the enhancements made or click to see a larger version.

We can convincingly combine photographs as in the example below which uses a new photograph merged into an old (in this case representing the players of history passing the ball on to the new generation). Mouse over the image below to see the enhancements made or click to see a larger version.

We can also effectively restore damaged photographs - old or new, digitally repairing tears, folds or removing scratches or stains. Mouse over the image below to see the enhancements made or click to see a larger version.

Photographs may be scanned and emailed or posted in printed form for us to scan. A word of caution - the better the scan, the better the result. We can then email or supply the retouched digital image on disk or alternatively print the image and return to you by post.
