Copy & Restore Services

1. Copy & Restoration

Restoration projects require us to evaluate your image for damage and quote the time necessary to repair if possible. We will not quote a restoration until we physically see the artwork because every restoration project has different requirements and physical damage or needs. Some are relatively simple and others take a considerable amount of effort.

We can copy and restore any flat artwork - 35mm & larger slide/transparency - negative - print - glass plates. We start with getting your original into a digital copy so that we may bring your art into the computer for manipulation. No original image is damaged and only the digital copy is manipulated so that we can return your originals to you in the condition they were received. All originals used for a job remain in our studio and restoration is done using our in-house computer stations.

Partial list of the repairs we have done:

Physically Damaged Photos -missing pieces/cracks/folds, mold on image, burned areas.
Discolored Images - Faded dyes, glare, chemical, water & sun damage

2. Copy Photos, Negatives or Slides, Output to CD/DVD

Have a ton of photos, slides or negatives laying around and you want to preserve and display them easily? We can copy and color correct large quantities of images and burn them to CD/DVD to preserve them.

Discounts are offered in quantities from 25-49, 50-99, 100-249, 250-399, 400-500 and over 500. Each slide/print is dusted, lightened/darkened, minor repairs are applied. All images are sized for 300ppi at 4"x6" print. This will display well on High Definition or standard TV as well as give you a very good quality 4 inch x 6 inch print. Higher scan sizes can be saved but take additional time and physical space on your CD/DVD. Call for any special requests. All your images are burned to CD/DVD and a photographic label with a description is applied to the face of the CD to assist you in retrieving your photos.

Each CD will contain a CD/DVD self starting multimedia presentation program to allow you to view your images on a personal computer or DVD connected to your television. All the photo files will be stored in a folder on the CD/DVD allowing you to print out copies at your local print shop, over the web or share with friends and family.

Tip 1: All projects with a large quantity of images to be duplicated will benefit when you organize your images into groups of related photos or time periods they were taken. This allows us to organize them into logical groups for your easy retrieval later. Call for information and a quote!
Tip 2: Mark the dates and very brief description on back of photos to allow us to organize and name your images. This will assist people in the future to know who, what, when and where these images were taken.

3. Copy and Print Service

Copy and print an 8x10 sheet of your choice. Prints can be made up to 17x22. This is a service for those only wanting to copy an existing slide/negative/print that doesn't need restoration and the customer would like a duplicate of the image. This service is subject to Copyright law. Professional images will not be copied without a Copyright release signed by the original artist. Once the image is digitized, we can brighten/darken, enhance color, turn it to black & white or other refinements to your taste. If any restoration is required, you will be quoted by how much time it would take to complete the restoration. Copyright Release Form

Low to High Volume Duplication Equipment

Each copy job requires one or more digital solutions to copy and bring in your originals so that they may be worked on in our photo shop programs. Your originals are reproduced and never tampered with so that we can return your originals back to you untouched. All jobs are copied, retouched and printed in our studio for optimum control of color. You will be amazed at the color and clarity of your reproduction. We have over 19 years of digital reproduction and restore experience to bring back your photo to its best condition.

	35mm Slide & negative copy work is done with a dedicated slide copier using a 21 million pixel high resolution digital camera with a full frame digital sensor. This guarantees the highest quality possible. Your slide and negative images are then brought in to Adobe Photo Shop to manipulate and repair any damage.
	A second option is for us to use Multiple Flat bed scanning devices which are useful for many in between jobs where the volume is low and the sizes will fit on a flat bed. Flat bed scanners offer very high resolution and flat images for slides, transparencies and prints.
	Flat, transparent and 3 dimensional objects are copied on a High End copy stand using balanced lighting and a flat surface. This ensures a quick and properly focused images for when you need to photograph a large number of images of varying sizes.
	When your artwork comes in sizes too large to fit our copy stand, we can accommodate any size art with our studio lighting setup.
