PHOTO REPAIR
Photo repair services start at just $35 + tax per photo. Photos requiring extensive or complex repairs may cost more. Feel free to contact me for more information.
Colorization can be done for an additional fee. Because some photos may require much more time to color than others, the colorization fee can only be assessed after viewing the image.
All repairs are done digitally. The process is as easy as you scanning the photo and emailing it to me. Once completed, I will send you the completed image for your final approval.

Things to consider when scanning a photo.
Most older photos have very small particles of dust or debis that you may not see, but once the image is scanned, every tiny spec appears on the image. Here are a few steps you can take to help reduce these issues:
-
Make sure scanner glass is clean and free of debris.
-
Use a soft, dry micro fiber or lens cloth to gently wipe photo.
-
Hold photos at edges to avoid getting fingerprints on them. (fingerprints show up clearly and are very difficult to remove digitally).
-
Scan at 300 DPI if you intend to have the image printed after repair.
Other considerations:
Very small photos may be difficult to enlarge as the pixel count and overall resolution may be too low.
Oversized images may need to be taken to a local printing facility (i.e. office depot, staples etc.) to be scanned on a larger scanner.
Photos that are blurry, heavily over exposed or under exposed, or that have little to no recoverable detail may not be repairable.
Images printed on porous, textured surfaces or news paper article photos may present unique challenges as well.
In all cases, I am happy to assess the image, free of charge, and determine what the best course of action would be.
