FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices begin at $50, but then depend on an estimate. Photo restoration is too complicated to give a flat rate. There are many times, for instance, when a client will want a price and tell us there's hardly any damage, or only one or two little scratches, only to have us scan the photo and enlarge it in Photoshop where the myriad of damage is then seen. So much of the damage in a photo simply can't be seen with the naked eye and, unlike most places offering photo restoration, we get all the damage out! We don't see doing a job if it isn't done right. At the same time, we're not going to charge such exorbitant rates that no one can afford quality photo restoration services!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started doing my family history18 years ago. We had a lot of photos, many in very bad shape, most that needed at least a little help. I decided to put my Photoshop skills, honed since 1999, to good use and try my hand at digital photo restoration. I started off small, finding all the information I could about the discipline, working hard to improve. I didn't want my family pictures to look anything less than perfect. As I got better and better, I started to look at others restoration work to emulate and raise my personal bar. Unfortunately, what I saw was less than stellar and I realized that it was up to me to raise the bar for others. It's become my personal goal to be the best I can be, learn constantly and teach others all I learn.
