Services:

Aged Photos

Over time, photos can fade, losing contrast and the ability to distinguish details. However, a proper scan can reveal details that the human eye cannot perceive. This allows our talented artists to enhance the photo manually, along with support from a multitude of Artifical Intelligence tools.

Water Damaged Photos

Water damage can often be fixed! Smeared emulsion and ink, spots, stains and warped paper can all be corrected, sometimes excellently. In the event of flood or fire, you might be eligibale for insurance coverage, even if the adjuster tells you otherwise. Call for more information.

Torn and Ripped Photos

When a photo has tears across hands and faces, it becomes quite tricky to restore properly. When whole pieces are missing, it often requires a clever strategy to make sure the end result exceeds your expectation. YourLegacyYourStory knows how to deliver a finished product that is so seamless, you won’t even remember the problem ever existed!

Digitizing of all types of videotapes

During the pandemic, a host of new tools for enhancing and clarifying photos became available. For the first time, blurry, out-of-focus photos with poor detail can be automatically enhanced to stunning clarity. At YourLegacyYourStory, we are experts at getting the finest results possible.

Videotape Restoration

Old videotape, particularly early VHS, could have resolution as low as 240p. Using well-maintained machines, time based correction, upsampling and aritficial intelleigence tools, we can make a significant improvement in your treasured and valuable old videotapes.

8mm & 16mm Film Restoration

Old film really is a series of individual photographs played rapidly and appear as a movie. YourLegacyYourStory’s strategy is to capture each of those individual photos at a high-resolution, run them through finely adjusted software and then string the movie back together with the newly improved photos. The results can be stunning!

Newspaper Restoration

Old newspaper is often half as thick as standard paper. It yellows quickly, tears easily, and has a very short lifespan. YourLegacyYourStory performs some of the best newspaper restoration in the world. If you have some of these old, delicate treasures, we are the best place to obtain incredible results.

Your Legacy Your Story did an amazing job of putting photos, documents, and letters together. This is so precious, I can't ever thank them enough! We are so grateful! We were overwhelmed by the boxes of historical documents, albums, letters, frames, and photos that our parents and grandparents had stored. We would have never in our lifetime been able to organize and view all of them. We gave them boxes with a mess of photos and letters, and they brought our history alive. This is a priceless treasure our family will enjoy for generations. Great communication and customer service. The quality of our photos and documents exceeded our expectations.

Your Legacy Your Story and Brett exceeded my expectations in every way possible. As someone who treasures multi-generational family history, it was incredibly important for me to find a business that I could trust with all of my family's precious memories. From the moment I met them, I was impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and care for the project. They not only put me at ease regarding the process, but they also went above and beyond by coming to my house to help identify and organize everything, packing it up and taking it with them. In addition to their incredible service, Brett and his team also provided excellent communication and follow-up, ensuring that the overall experience was as seamless and stress-free as possible. I am thrilled with the final product and could not be happier with the choice to work with Your Legacy Your Story.

I needed to hire a professional videographer for a webinar in San Diego. I searched via Yelp and sent out some inquiries. Three of them replied to me, but only Your Legacy Your Story was patient with all my questions. So finally, I chose to work with them. It was a pleasant experience! Recently, my friend had a show in San Diego and wanted to hire a photographer. We just heard his request one day before the show opened. Brett helped us arrange it in time! We appreciate him and his team's support! I do believe we will work together in the future again!
