What you are seeing
We restore what remains. We do not invent what is missing.
Source capture
The digital working copy before BurlyMingo Heritage restoration—not a photograph of the physical slide.
Base Restoration
A new, non-generative derivative made from information present in the source. No optional AI enhancement is mixed into these examples.
Honest limits
Results vary with surviving dyes, original exposure and focus, physical damage, film stock, and capture quality. Color cannot be known with perfect historical certainty.
