We restore images by scanning or photographing prints with a macro lens and applying a specialized focus-stacking technique. The process starts by securely mounting the camera on a tripod to prevent movement, then capturing a series of images, each carefully focused on a slightly different plane. To accurately depict both the delicate, finely etched light areas and the deeper, bold dark lines of the image, exposures are varied: underexposed images capture the subtle detail in the lightest, finest lines, while overexposed images highlight detail in the darkest, heaviest parts. The resulting sequence—highlighting various aspects of the original—is accurately aligned and digitally combined with specialized software. Only the sharpest, most detailed parts of each image are combined, producing a final composite in which intricate details are consistently and clearly rendered across the entire image. This method reveals structures and nuances that would otherwise be hidden by the shallow depth of field typical of macro photography or lost in a single standard exposure. Careful control of lighting and setup—often with diffused light, a sturdy tripod, and uniform illumination—ensures accurate reproduction, minimal shadows, and crisp, clean detail in every layer of the composition.
