Antique Photo Restoration

How are these items restored?

Found in antique stores, flea markets, or someone’s basement, the antique items I find tend to come with some imperfections or damage. The majority of my work fixing these items is done digitally, minus some perfunctory cleaning beforehand and proper storage and care afterwards. Following the scanning of the object on a flatbed scanner, I use Photoshop to color correct and clean the images, removing dust, scratches, and replacing any missing pieces. Depending on the needs of the object, restoring an item can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2-3 days.
