Like staging readings from a diary or vacationing with your childhood stuffed-animal collection, restoring old photos keeps your past vibrant and alive. Polish up memories with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get one photo-restoration service at Black's (a $59.99 value). This Groupon is valid at 78 locations.

The image doctors at Black’s transform damaged snapshots into mint-condition memories with their photo-restoration service. A seasoned staff member artfully scans aged pictures in disrepair from years of nostalgic glances, sending the original home with the owner for safekeeping. Camera-captured likenesses then undergo a digital time warp that expunges them of all scratches, tears, and poltergeists lurking in the background in three days or less, regardless of the amount of initial damage to the source print. After the corrected portrait has been inspected by the customer, the rejuvenated image takes its frameable form in a 6"x8" print, and a CD traps both the restored and original images in its data-storing underbelly to use for additional prints or as references for photorealistic macaroni portraits.
