Photo Restoration
Most photos have some imperfections, so we perform basic corrections and
adjustments on photos submitted for slideshow production as a service included
in the basic price. This includes, color, contrast and sharpness adjustments to
get the best out of the submitted photo. Most submitted photos are useable after
this treatment.But often old photos and slides have been damaged, or are so
poorly exposed that major rectification is required. We have the tools to do
this extra work and provide it as a separate service to photo customers across
the continent.
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the photo. Some example are
shown, but it is best to ask for a quotation first. Please contact us for more info.
An accurate price quotation isn’t possible without actually
seeing your photos. Provide us the photo or digital file for a free estimate.
If your delivered photos images unexpectedly need special
work, we will inform you after scanning, for your approval to start
restoration.
We can fix poor exposure, damaged photos, or modify photos
to add or remove detail, including inserting missing relatives in group photos,
and more!
