Yellowed Wedding Photos

A yellowed wedding photo is a common case: acidic paper and album pages, cigarette smoke and the slow chemistry of fixer left in the print leaves whites turned cream or brown and a warm cast lying over the whole image, and wedding photos from the 1920s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Faded Photo Fixer is the tool for yellowed wedding photos: it targets whites turned cream or brown and a warm cast lying over the whole image and leaves the rest of the wedding photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the lace of the dress, the ring hands and the bouquet end up where they always were in the yellowed original.

Scan the yellowed wedding photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the yellowing is the only thing left to repair. The wedding photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the yellowing.

What matters for these photos

  • Yellowing from acidic paper and album pages, cigarette smoke and the slow chemistry of fixer left in the print, on wedding photos from the 1920s to 1990s
  • Small faces of the couple, the wedding party and both sets of parents that the yellowing has taken the detail from
  • Yellowed wedding photos that a copy shop refused to touch
  • A yellowed wedding photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
