Digital methods have made the art of photo restoration a much simpler task, allowing to work on a digital image instead of the original photograph, slide or negative. Old photographs can be revived by cleaning up mildew, water stains, spots, and tears. The contrast and color can be brought back to faded photographs. Your pictures can be altered to remove blemishes, scars, people or objects. Colors can be changed, closed eyes can be opened...the list is endless! Unlike negatives, the digital image lasts forever and doesn't change in quality.

How does it work?

1. Send me your original photograph, 35 mm slide, or negative. Good quality reproductions or scans are also acceptable.
2. Your original will not be altered. All restoration and retouching is done on a digital image of your original photograph.
3. View the final image on your computer before payment is requested.
4. The completed image is printed with archival quality ink on photographic paper, and sent via courier along with your original photograph. You will also receive your digital image on CD.

How much does it cost?

You preview and approve your image before you pay!
Prices generally range from $20 for minor corrections to $100 for complex restorations. For a FREE estimate, email an image of your photo to me. Once I see your photo I'll be able to give you an accurate quote.
