The beauty of digital restoration is, the extent of the work done to your special photos
is up to you. From a simple crease to water and mildew spots, most damage is reparable as long as there is enough
original material to work with. Please read the following and look at the examples. The finished photos are enlarged
so you can view the detail of the work. Compare the work with other restoration outfits. You can clearly see the
quality of work and the care that goes into each photo.
Because we specialize in historic photo restoration, the examples are all of old photos. However, we 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. Your high school graduation picture that became damaged moving can be repaired.
The only hard part is deciding which photos to have done. For that matter, the cost is so reasonable, have them
all done!
Generally customers with an old photo do not necessarily want it to look like brand new. The look of age adds to
its charm. Color can be used to keep the old look while damage can be repaired. I would be happy to discuss the
options with you after reviewing the photo. See How To Order.
Restoration
You may have a picture, old or new, which has been damaged.
The picture can be digitally restored, even if it's torn in half.
Creases, bends, tears, etc., in most cases can be fully repaired. Water damage and mold/mildew spots usually clean up nicely. If there is a section of the photo missing, it can usually be replaced. If there are large areas of damage or missing portions of detailed sections of the photo, it may not ever look like the original. An example of this would be a large crease over a small face of a person, loosing the detail of the face.
Please be patient while the examples are loading. The files are large so detail can be noted.
*Please note: Restoration includes color correction and cropping if desired. If you have a photo that does not need restoration but you would like cropped and/or enlarged, pricing for these services includes light touch up work. See the Color Correction and Cropping/Enlarging sections below.
Pricing - Please see Pricing Info for details.

Color Correction
Correct color or add a "sepia" tone to your yellowed and faded photos.
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.
Pricing - You may have any photo color corrected for a fee of $10.00. Light touch up work is included at no extra charge. If you would like it cropped also, add on an additional $5.00.

Cropping / Enlarging
Your pictures can be cropped, enlarged, reduced, whatever you like.
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 client want their photos cropped and printed in standard sizes. If you have an odd shaped photo and would like to keep it the same shape, I'll quote you a print size.
Pricing - You may have any photo cropped for a fee of $10.00. Light touch up work is included at no extra charge. If you would like it color corrected also, add on an additional $5.00.

After your photo is repaired, have it stored onto a disc for safe keeping or printing at home.
Your finished photo(s) can be saved to a disc. The photo will be saved in a high resolution format. The printable size of the photo depends on the size and resolution of the original photo. In most cases the print can be quite large and details will become more apparent. You will always have the photo safely stored on the disc to be printed at home or at a photo service establishment.
Pricing - There is a minimum fee of $5.00 for 1 photo on a disc. Add an additional .10 for each photo thereafter.
