Photo restoration is the process of recovering a damaged image. Typically, this is from a print that has faded, been torn, bent or scratched. Where required, missing information is put back into the picture, colours are enhanced, scratches are repaired and so on. A new digital image is provided. In some cases restoration involves the colour correction/balance of a digital image in order to be printed.

Prices vary depending on the amount of correction that needs to be done to the photograph (if any). Our prices start at $2.00 for digitization service. For restoration/colour correction prices generally range from $20.00 to $70.00 per image. Printing prices are extra. Please be aware that some companies will charge close to $200.00 for retouching services so it is always a good idea to get multiple quotes if you feel that you are being charged more than you would expect.

The price is based on the amount of time and experience required to create a new digital (and print worthy) photograph from another printed image or digital file.
