PHOTO-ENHANCEMENT,
REPAIRS & RESTORATIONS
Photographic Repair and Enhancement service is for clients that have digital images in need of enhancement and older film photos that are damaged or degraded and need restoration work done to them. This service covers everything from simple color corrections and touchups to the repair of torn and water damaged photos.
Simple enhancements for digitally taken photos are $5.00 per photo with a $25 minimum.
Film photo enhancements start at $10 per photo with a $30 minimum.
Film photos that are in need of more elaborate repair, such as removing scratches. minor water damage, lamenation wrinkles or repairing tears, range from $50 to $100 per photo depending up how badly the photo has been damaged or degraded.
Extreme water damage or photos that have missing pieces requiring major repairs can range from $100 to $500.
For commercial clients that may have large quantities of photos I am negotiable depending upon the quantity and amount of enhancement required.
A 20% deposit is required for all Photo Restorations before work begins, payable by Check, PayPal or cash if done in person. When the work is finished a low resolution proof image will be sent to the client by email for inspection. When the final image is approved by the client the final payment will be due in cash if the image is being hand delivered or by Check or PayPal if the image is being emailed in digital format or mailed as a print.
Clients choosing to have their finished images reprinted will receive the print as an 8X10 inch on premium matte photo paper for an additional $10. Larger prints available by special quote.
If the client wishes to have their own prints made the client can receive their images on CD for an additional $10.00
No extra charge for images that are emailed to the client in digital format or if the client provides their own CD or other USB Device to store the image on.
Large Giclee poster prints and stretched canvas prints available by special quote.
FILM PHOTO DIGITAL ARCHIVING
Film photo archiving service is for those that have large quantities of film photos and need them scanned and archived onto CD or DVD. Depending upon the number of photos you have to archive the fee for this service is $25 per CD or $100 per DVD. All film photos will be scanned and converted into the TIFF format for final archiving onto a CD or DVD. The TIFF format is the highest quality digital format which will produce the best prints. The TIFF format is difficult to display on some computers due to the large file sizes and large amount of computer memory needed to read and display these image files. The client will have the option of having the TIFF images converted into JPG copies and put onto separate CDs or DVDs for viewing on the standard Personal Computer or Laptop. A small discount is available for clients who provide the necessary CD or DVD to store their digitized photos.
Below
are some samples of restoration and enhancement:
In this first example a small wallet sized photo was damaged by a client attempting to create a collage.
Below is the same photo repaired and enhanced by combining it with another photo supplied by the client. It was then reprinted as an 8 X 10 on high gloss photo paper. This was a $50 repair plus $10 for the reprint.
This next sample is a wallet sized photo with minor water damage. Its lamenation is also wrinkled and peeling.
Below is the same photo with the wrinkles and water damaged removed. It was reprinted as a 5 X 7 on high gloss photo paper. This was a $25 repair plus $10 for the reprint.
This next photo only required simple enhancement. It was originally a 4 X 6 with a dull finish and poor contrast.
Below is the same photo enhanced and reprinted as an 8 X 10 on high gloss photo paper. This was a $10 enhancement plus $10 for the reprint.
In this next example a canvas painting was torn in half leaving only the woman intact. The client supplied me with an old photo as reference in order to reconstruct the missing half of the canvas.

In this next example a 32 inch long panoramic photo of a Navy Graduation Class from 1942 was badly damaged from being rolled up too tightly. (Due to it's size only the center portion is displayed here)
Here is the photo restored and it was reprinted on premium luster photo paper. (Due to it's size only the center portion is displayed here) This was a $300 repair plus $100 for the special reprint.
This final example shows an 8 X 10 family photo with extreme damage and major tearing. Because the client's head in the original photo was destroyed by water damage he had to supply a separate photo of himself alone to use as a base to restore the family portrait.
Below is the newly restored version with the family from the original damaged photo combined with the substitute photo provided by the client. It was reprinted as another 8 X 10 ready to be framed. This was a $100 repair and enhancement plus $10 for the reprint.
