Photo Restoration

Unfortunately, many old photos "show their age" and are in poor condition. Many a photograph contains scratches, creases or other blemishes that can be removed. Much of today's restoration can be done without altering the historical significance of the photo. Good quality photos enhance any project and elevate interest while while poor quality photographs can actually be a distraction.
While scrapbooking is enjoying a new high in popularity, many are finding photographs that, because they were "saved" in a scrapbook, need attention. Sometimes a new copy of the photo is all it will take to have a quality photo for the family archives. However, many times, removing it from the scrapbook causes irreparable damage to the original print. Let our photo restorer make a high quality copy for you while repairing any injury.
Basic restoration work, such as removing some dust or a crack from the background, is available at very reasonable prices. The base for photograph restoration is $25.00. More specific work, such as the mending of a hole, can usually be accomplished for additional charges - please inquire if interested. Restoration work is always quoted on an individual basis.

Here, we've cleaned up the picture, inserted two cameos, and identified everyone.
Restoration: We can repair or remove most holes (within
reason), spots, rips, wrinkles, etc.
Custom Work:
We can adjust the tone, if your original is too light or dark.
We can also "airbrush" away those scars or blemishes, and tone down or remove
glare.
Pricing will vary according to amount of
work needed. An average is about $25.
If we don't feel we can make much improvement, there is no charge. (free
appraisals)
We prefer to work from originals, but can
work from pre-scanned photos,
provided they are scanned at least 400 dpi, and saved on a CD, DVD, 3 1/2 floppy
or memory stick/card.
We will not accept e-mailed pictures, at this time.
We can print out the results, provide you with the file saved on a CD, or both.
Restoration services are offered to anyone interested and is not exclusive to our publishing packages. However, authors who wish restoration work may get their work done for little or no extra expense above basic photo services.
