Photograph Repair or Restoration

I can repair your old and badly damaged, faded, cracked photographs as well as your old documents, certificates, faded or damaged letters, drawings and artwork.

A Simple Repair is $25.00 and includes:

· Scanning of prints up to 8.5 x 11 inches,

· Removing “red eyes,”

· Overall correction and enhancement of color and contrast of the image,

· Producing a black-and-white image from a sepia or color image,

· Producing a sepia image from a black-and-white or color image.

A Complex Repair is $60.00 and includes:

· Scanning of prints up to 8.5 x 11 inches,

· Repair of a simple damage, such as a torn or scratched background,

· Retouching wrinkles, freckles, blemishes, whitening teeth or eyes,

· Changing hair color from lighter to darker, correcting skin tone,

· Eliminating odd colors from poor lighting,

· Removing distracting objects, cluttered background, or unwanted persons.

Several factors may affect the final price such as if the image is larger than 8.5 x 11 inches and the amount of damage to the image. Time consuming procedures include the following:

· Restore damaged or stained important areas of a photograph,

· Remove objects or persons from one location and place them in another location,

· Combining objects or persons from two separate photographs,

· Remove reflections in eyeglasses,

· Change shape of person’s body,

· Restore or repair person’s face,

· Recover colors and/or details from an underexposed or overexposed film negative or slide (there are limits, though, how much can be done).

I can send examples of my work. Just send me a request for the type of photography you would like restored.
