All print
restoration projects are done to a digital copy of your
original photo. We will copy or scan your original image
and give it back to you within minutes. The restoration is
then done on our digital copy. Your photo does not leave our
lab and will be returned to you untouched in its original
condition.
We can restore
paintings, photographs, glass plates, tintypes, old
negatives, 35mm to 8x10 film, slides. Between our digital
cameras, flat bed scanners, and dedicated slide scanner we
are capable of bringing in most transparent or flat art
images for digital retouching. Call for questions.

Restoration
Costs:
1. All
restoration projects start with a $7.50 per item copy
charge. This charge covers, handling, copying the
image, lighten /darken, correct color, improve contrast,
crop, sharpen and permanent storage of your digital file. Size of your original
art does not matter.
2. We charge
$50 per hour for electronic retouching and quote in 5 minute segments
with a minimum of 15 minutes. It is impossible to quote over the phone
the cost of a restoration job. Each job requires inspection
of the print to see the condition and what services will be
needed to create a final restored image.
3. Prints made
from your retouched image are priced below at $11.95 per
sheet. Select the appropriate Multi print sheet you will
need for the number of images you want. All print sheets
will be cut down to their final print sizes for your
convenience.
Bring in your
image for a quote. The final restoration will be no more than
15% of our quoted price. Because every restoration is unique,
all restoration work must be authorized by you and a 50% down
payment must accompany the order to start the restoration and
reproduction process. Please do not ask us to quote over
the phone because it is impossible to judge the condition of a
print when we cannot see the condition. If the damage is beyond
a reasonable repair, we will let you know
what we can accomplish and how much it will cost.
We adhere to the
U.S. Copyright law and will not
copy original artwork, portraits or commercial photographs
without a signed copyright release from the original artist.
