DIGITAL PHOTO RESTORATION

Before, After and then hand coloured

The Smith's Family photo after digital restoration

Restoring old photographs to "new" is now easier than ever. We scan or re-photograph the image at high resolution and then repair the image using Adobe Photoshop. We can tint, color or filter the photograph if you like to make it look like a water color painting or a sepia toned print to make it look "aged" but without any cracks, spots or stains or we can just make a straight print. By scanning an very high resolution you can often enlarge the image 3-4X with acceptable results. We provide you with a CD or DVD with the original scan and repaired images that you can have printed at your favorite photo store.

Dust and Scratches		Repaired in 15 minutes

We charge an hourly rate and if you have many photos we would be happy to offer you an estimate and discount. We can take any size photos big or small and we can enlarge the image if you like - the amount of enlargement depends on the quality of the original but we can often make 8 x 10 inch prints even from small wallet sized images.

This was a wallet size image the final version is an 8 x 10 inch print.

If you like we can even make your images into a slide show on a CD that you can play on your computer, TV, DVD or present on a projector. These might be used for weddings, special occasions or retirement parties.

In photo-restoration keep in mind I can not bring back what is not there in the picture. Cost varies - I charge $60\hr for restoration and once I see the image can provide you with an estimate that will be very close to the final cost. Transfer to DVD $10 or you can bring a USB stick and I will copy the completed files to it.
