Rather than remove every photo from the background, I chose to make three of them retain thier “frame” and the others, larger and free floating in the foreground. I think this made for a more interesting and unique composition when all was said and done. Each individual photo is still in either a 4×6, 5×7 or 8×10 size, also, for individual printing.

This is a perfect example of how a photo restoration project can be both a way to recover and preserve family heritage, and a very cost effective way to give gifts to an extended group of people. Although this was a large amount of restoration overall, with the bulk discount I applied and the really low cost of actually printing individual fixed photos, the project resulted in a treasure for many people in this family. A similar photo collage approach is also ideal for photo memorials!
