Photo Services

I will do light restore work, touch-ups, color correction and cropping/enlarging. I no longer take on heavy restoration projects. If you have a photo you would like to change in some way, a portion of the image or a background removed for example, that can likely be done.

Yellowing and fading can be adjusted to your desired effect. You may want to rid the picture of yellowing completely or just reduce it, keeping the "old" look. Certain pictures such as portraits look very nice with a sepia tone, which is the reddish-brown tone seen in antique photos. If the picture is in color, it can usually be "spruced up" by brightening, darkening or altering the saturation,

Your picture can be cropped to your liking. Basic cropping can be done to reduce unwanted background and bring out subjects. In most cases a photo can be cropped to enlarge it which will show details you would normally miss in the small snap shot. This is especially helpful when making out faces of people in old family photos. Most clients want their photos cropped to a standard size.

Digital photos with small files size can be sent to me via e-mail, otherwise they can be put on a CD or jumpdrive and mailed.
Hard copy photos can be sent by mail. Please use means to protect the photo from damage in shipping.
Completed photos will be returned by the same medium unless otherwise requested.

The examples are all of old photos. However, I do work on any photo, black & white or color, that needs sprucing up. A special photo that got into the hands of a child with a crayon can be repaired. A photo you wish to be manipulated can be done reasonably. As long as there is material to work with, changes can be made to almost any image.

Prices start at $15.00 which inludes image prep, touch-ups, color correction and cropping.
Light restoration including everything above starts at $20.00.
If more restoration is necessary, the remainder of the cost will be determined by the size of your image and the extent of work. In these cases a quote is required.
