Restoration

Restoration

With the advent of digital technology in the photofinishing world. the process of restoration and image manipulation has gotten easier and more exciting. Although it still takes time and skill, restoring an old damaged print or altering existing images using digital techniques gives us the ability to do things we could only dream of a few short years ago. We can repair, join, replace, alter and do almost anything you require. As long as you give us enough to work with.

Restoration
When we do a restoration, the process is broken down into three sections.

1) First there is the charge for the scanning and the time it takes to do the actual computer work. This is usually based on time. We roughly break it down into three ranges.

	Mild - $20.00 - $30.00
	Medium - $40.00 - $60.00
	Heavy - $70.00 - $90.00

Prices vary and may be below or above these three categories but this is a good guideline. When you bring the work in for a quote, we can better pinpoint what the charges will be.

2) Second, we burn the finished digital file onto a CD for you to keep. The charge for this is $4.95.

3) Finally, we print the number and size of prints that you request. Below is a list of print sizes and cost.

Wallets (pair)	.50
3.5 x 5	.35
4 x 6	.49
5 x 7	1.99
8 x 12	5.79
11 x 14	11.99
12 x 18	15.99

The prints can be printed on Glossy or Matte finish paper. The price is the same whether the original image is Color or Black & White.

Image Manipulation
This term can cover a lot of different meanings. We regularly do things like remove people, add people, change backgrounds etc. This type of work would have to be quoted on a case by case basis.

The cost for having this type of work done is much like restoration with the second and third step being the same (the CD and the prints). The price would vary depending on the complexity of the work done.
